A domain names marketplace (and more it seems)

They are browser specific (Payment API, Passkeys, Speech recognition). It matters because the portability between browsers is then an illusion, the respect of the privacy is unreliable and they are a way to keep small competitors out

Human curation is needed because Google search is collapsing, the web has been consolitadef behind walls or polluted by AI slop though optimized for SEO

Writing on Medium can become an obsession for metrics. A playground or a sandbox is needed in public, think and learn in public. omg.lol is maybe too technical. Another popular blog platform is Bear Blog that I also follow. It's only text-based.

Good Enough makes small products:

Les sites d'informations style comparatif ou texte peuvent être remplacés par Gemini dynamic view: l'IA crée une vue web des informations.
