Anything


A while ago I published a different kind of blog. I have now reverted to a more traditional format and moved that project, now dubbed Anything to its own URL.

Anything is a blog-as-a-service. It can host whatever someone wants on the deploy side. If anyone wants their content to appear on the site they can just encode it as a text string in the URL.

If you’re interested in diving deeper - you can read the technical post here

PS

Here’s what the raw URL looks like. The entire post shown on that page is encoded after /post right here. If Anything is anything, it’s a rendering engine.

What Next?

This is the latest exploration in my Good Internet Series that began with my app “blockchan”, i.e. Ephemeral.

I will continue to tug on the threads that made up the internet of my youth, the good internet. These threads are:

  • anonymity to the point of recklessness
  • anti-corp-influence
  • countercultural due to high technical bar to entry (no normies and get good)
  • tech first, view last, i.e. minimal UI polish on underlying tech
