Paragraph

Great writing deserves to be shared, seen, and supported.
But today’s internet makes that harder than it should be.

We want to give writers a place where their ideas thrive — and today, we’re launching a new look and a new home at https://paragraph.com.

great, had this on my list since the mirror merger

that means: create a new paragraph publication, and then from settings I'll be able to "import" stark.mirror.xyz?

Yes - we support migrating posts & emails. You can kick off the import in your Paragraph publication settings.

Let us know if you need any help or run into any issues

if I have a mirror account/blog/posts, can I migrate over to Paragraph?

1. Line breaks disappear in "preview" mode
2. Why does it show two different previews?
3. Line breaks return on the published post, but...
4. The ❌ emoji doesn't appear

Basically, previews aren't doing proper markdown, published posts are, but improper Unicode declaration.

Can you share an example? Eg link to a published post that looks drastically different in draft mode?

I would not say this is ready for prime time. Extreme dissonance between the draft mode and what ends up published. 

Inconsistent markdown support, inconsistent emoji support. 

Table stakes for a publishing platform.

The whole UI experience I prefer over Paragraphs, I've been trying to adjust to Paragraph but I just keep going back to Mirror 🥲

Would love some Farcaster integration 😉 or at least a mini app please!

What do you like about Mirror over Paragraph?

Also .xyz → .com is huge

Congrats on securing it!

Hmm, so what does paragraph aspire to be?

Thanks for the note, Humpty!

Beehiiv is a great SaaS tool for sending out newsletters.

But we're certainly not trying to compete with them. We're trying to find a way for writers to make money in new & novel ways.

Don't get me wrong - "newsletter" functionality is really valuable. Growing an email list and sending new posts via email is super important for making readers aware of your writing and any form of monetizing. But we don't aspire to be a SaaS tool for sending newsletters.

Congrats on the relaunch. Paragraph has been a fun experiment for me. Lots of improvements still needed to catch up to beehiiv, but you’re on your way.

you got my attention as someone who likes writing :)

Beautiful logo idea and distillation into it's essence. Utterly beautiful @colin!

This is so exciting!! Thank you for all the work that went into this update! :)

I noticed some of these updates when I was editing my post earlier today!
