When Medium dropped our access to their API without warning a few months ago, we decided to permanently end our integration with them.
Today we're happy to launch a new integration with an open publishing platform that can't do the same, Ghost.
Read more on their blog: https://blog.ghost.org/admin-api/
(Thanks to @johnonolan and the Ghost team for reaching out and helping with the implementation!)
Medium abruptly terminates developer API access with zero warning.
Shock.
Lot of work went into making Ghost function as a fully headless CMS in the last year, very stoked to launch a lot of new developer tooling for the JAMstack architecture: https://blog.ghost.org/jamstack/
Flying back to the UK tomorrow for a 3 week Christmas break with friends. Fun, but after several months in Thailand... the cold is always a bit of a shock to the system.

The fucking podcast feed validators haven't been updated in about a million years, either -- https://validator.w3.org/feed official W3 feed validator chokes on https because it fails to detect the URL pattern entirely 😱
Just spent 2 hours creating a basic podcast RSS feed holy shit XML is such a garbage fire

Tumblr announced they’re shutting down all porn - and we rank #2 for “Tumblr Alternative”. Site traffic is up +400%.
Going to be an... interesting... week.
Actually updated our site to redirect most visitors to Mastodon - which I think is way more suited to the use-case of people moving away from Tumblr and looking for short-form, nice content networks.

New side project coming together nicely and I am
🔥Excited 🔥
Preparing for full circumnavigation of the earth in the next 3 weeks. All for 1 conference and 2 meetings.
Something not mentioned in this post that I'm very interested in, is using ActivityPub to connect different Ghost instances together - just like Mastodon. If anyone is interested in chatting about this, I'd love some advice.
Proud to share: After 5 years, $3Million, and no investors: Here's everything we've learned from building the #1 CMS on Github 🔥 https://blog.ghost.org/5/

The fallacy of taking time off, when you just end up cramming the same todo list into less time/sleep to compensate
