Inserttng image into nvalt4/27/2023 ![]() and jump to point 3: write a front-end that publishes (using the Atom/MetaWeblog/Blogger/MovableType APIs) with an abstracted connector. Previously my solution was to skip over points 1. ![]() a really dumb idea that has always been a dumb idea (FOR EVERY DEVELOPER WHO HAS HAD IT) right up until the point at which you publish something with it and people read it.an impossibility because I have a company now with employees and clients and no time to waste on side-projects.The more I think about it, though, the more I think I will never have it unless I make it. I have been thinking about writing platforms and talking to people (some of which worked on the platform you’re reading this on) and even keeping notes in nvAlt whenever a new idea pops into my head. But as far as I can tell it’s not the one I’ve been looking for, so I figure it’s time I write this. I am jealous he was able to get it out the door. My dream writing platform is not Dustin Curtis’ new application called Svbtle. So maybe I never get to write that book, but holy crap am I happy to know I have a couple inches of space in the book that so perfectly nails it.

Now a few weeks on, after reading the book, I can say I am so unbelievably proud to have such a tiny part to do with that book. By the time we were in our car I discovered Austin had used the line from that blog post in his book “ Steal Like an Artist”.
