I miss reading the football newspapers that looked like this.

@gilbitron Excited for you!

Watching Finland U21 playing Spain U21.

Spain’s team is stacked with Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Championship players, including Chema, Brighton’s third scorer against Arsenal last weekend. Crazy quality.

Finland leading 1-0 at the break. Thoroughly enjoying myself.

Today I launched Subsail Memberships!

Memberships are "regular" time-based subscriptions, perfect for magazines who want regular income and can offer ongoing perks like access to digital content, a community, a podcast, merch etc. The magazine can be included or not!

Perks is something issue-based subscriptions struggle with; memberships fills in a nicely-sized gap in Subsail's offering.

Excited to get this out and get the first few publishers creating memberships soon!

@iulianudrea @VicVijayakumar I want to wear real watches. I use my Apple Watch mostly for runs and exercise tracking, most notifications are off, I don't use it to call or anything...

Shipping a very important feature soon in Subsail.

It's taken me over 10 years to get here

@kyyjonssoni @frantzfries @loops Happy to help you get set up or answer any questions!

Chris @frantzfries has been cooking on the @loops homepage over the past weeks and months.

Lots of iteration and polish.

Love this example on the homepage of using an AI agent to set up a full onboarding workflow, just by typing. Amazing stuff!

@jonathan_wilke Downloaded it a while ago after finding it on Google Fonts. Looks great. Waiting for a project to use it on

@abd_ulll16 You're probably right!

[Dan Rowden @dr]

I'm embarrassed by my own product.

I built Subsail by hand in 2016 and 2017 and the design has not changed since then. It's functional, but not pretty, and it isn't even responsive, meaning it's a pain to use on mobile.

There are always more important things to work on. I haven't made the time to update it, use something like Tailwind, or make it responsive. Don't even think about dark mode lol.

I'd love to update it. But also, I've never had anyone complain. It works, so I leave it working

@_baretto @TiinyHost Well then you win 🏆

Oh, go check out Magic Pages if you want a Ghost host: https://t.co/kN5avcBdKg

About a year ago I sold my Ghost host, Gloat, to Magic Pages, a (much better) hosting platform.

I’m super impressed with what Magic Pages is becoming, offering a ton of things on top of basic Ghost sites.

Really happy to have met Jannis, the founder, this weekend in person 🙌
