Flutter: the good, the bad and the ugly
Serious question: why do people, software developers actually, use Medium for blogging?- they nag mobile users to install a shitty app "optimized for readers" because apparently the browser is no longer suitable for freaking blogs- they nag desktop users to login- they are in fact not GDPR compliant- the downloaded pages are huge, the browser ends up downloading and interpreting over 2 megabytes of crap in order to display 3 paragraphs of text- the domain name isn't yours so you can lose your content and your identity and it isn't easy to port to other platformsWhy do you put up with this shit?I have a blog built with a static site generator since 2008, with minimal maintenance and costs required, on my own domain, with changes tracked in Github. My blog is at this point at least 4 years older than all Medium accounts and will probably outlast Medium.This may not be for your grandmother, but you're a software developer and the setup would take you one day of work. It actually takes more than that to write a good article.
