julien··on The End of the Ad-Supported Web

julien··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2018)
Unlock | front end | New York, NY | Full time | onsite | employee #2

We (http://unlock-protocol.com/) are looking for front end engineers: React, Redux, ES6, web3.js, Ethereum

At Unlock, we believe the web needs a new business model. We believe the decentralization promise of the web cannot be achieved if economic incentives are not aligned between consumers and creators. For this, we're building a protocol which lets anyone restrict access to their creations and for consumers to earn points when they discover and promote the best creations.

julien··on Accelerated Mobile Pages Project
Well, if it was... why would you re-invent it under a new name? HTML already exists and is pretty great!
julien··on Accelerated Mobile Pages Project
Exactly! The WEB! Not yet another format that a small percentage of people will ever use but that everybody else will have to deal with for centuries.
julien··on Accelerated Mobile Pages Project
I don't mean to defend Facebook but Instant Articles is based on RSS... hardly a walled gardern. On the other end, AMP is (yet another) re-invention of the wheel from Google.
julien··on Show HN: Rockets – Reddit and websockets

julien··on Tracking Feeds by Superfeedr

julien··on The Decline of the Mobile Web
"This is why you see so many popups and banners on mobile websites that try to get you to download apps. It is also why so many mobile websites are broken."

Huh, is that surprising? They break their mobile sites and expect people to still use them more than apps? This is self fulfulling: if you make a sucky website, people will NOT use it. Make a wonderful mobile site and people will not care about your apps.

julien··on Feedly Found a New Way to Steal Page Views From Publishers
There are hundreds of great feed readers out there. Try out http://feedbin.me for example!
julien··on Feedly is Now Hijacking Shared Links And Cutting Out Original Publishers
The problem that i see is that once big 'popular' readers are gone, it's possible that publishers decide that RSS is a feature not worth having/maintaining. That's a choice that has been made already by platforms like Twitter and such. A lot of new (more recent) blog platforms also did not prioritize RSS.

So, as much as I agree with the statement, I'm worried that in the end, we'll all lose.

Finally, Feedly's strategy here is probably one of the best way to make sure that publishers stop puvblising RSS feeds.

julien··on Feedbin now supports PubSubHubbub
