Patreon’s change of heart is indeed welcome, although I am withholding final judgement until I see exactly how things pan out. In a sense you can of course take your patrons with you, as a download of the basic details, and with all the other tools available I suspect it would not be too difficult to reconstruct a similar experience that might even be better for managing privileged content. I’ve yet to do that myself, but it is in my plans. I’m also having a little trouble with Stripe, which was easy enough to set up, harder to get working efficiently.
Overall, I’m glad to have been goaded into doing something to make it easy for people who don’t want the hassle of signing up for Patreon, perhaps because they only have one person to whom they want to donate.

Patreon is stepping back, and that’s great. But there announcement prompted me to do something about supporting the podcast, and I’m not going to change that.

I’m late getting to this, but I would say it depends partly on which CMS you’re talking about. I almost always compose directly in Known, and almost never compose directly in either WP or my main site, which runs on Grav. For WP sites, I usually use MarsEdit, which has just shipped version 4 and which is really good and Mac only. For Grav, I tend to compose in Byword and proofread in Marked2.

Had to abandon the latest Gravy podcast because the levels were so all over the place. Pity; it seemed pretty interesting.

If only these self-same people were aware of the power of feeds. I get a pure timeline of Instagram photos from the people I follow in my feed reader and it has made me like it all over again.

@DropboxSupport I’ve fixed permissions and checked for symlinks; thanks. The only app accessing often is nvALT. So, we’ll see if things improve. I hope so.

What is @dropbox actually doing when it is “indexing,” why does it need to do it so often, and why does it hog my computer while it does it?
