When Steve and I started orbiter.host, there were two things we wanted to focus on: 1. Playing in a validated market. 2. Using /pinata for all our IPFS needs. We did exactly those things even if point 1 means dealing with heavy competition. I think we have some nice advantages that will grow over time though.

When Claude or ChatGPT search the web, I immediately discount the answer. That's a weird feeling because this is what I would have done myself before these robots took over. But now, I feel like they are effectively hitting me with the Let Me Google That For You.

The top-10 in fWAR right now is interesting. Insane bounce-back year so far for Corbin Carroll and PCA sitting at number 2 is wild. Cal Raleigh and Geraldo Perdomo are surprising too

The Mets now own the Marlins. (I'd never thought to try to get ChatGPT to create fake tweets, but there you go! Even though Rosenthal's face isn't quite right)

I wrote this long before starting Orbiter, so if you're wondering how bought in I am to the simplicity that web hosting *should* be.

Why is this service called “Web3Forms”. Does Web3 means something else in this case? https://web3forms.com/

Something that makes baseball unique is that the field of play is part work of art, part strategic investment. Compare that to a football stadium where the field is more of a canvas and the players create the art.

How we built this: - Built a dedicated API to support x402 - Spun up a Bun project with a cron job to run the script every hour (or whatever) - Integrated Neynar - Gave a locally running LLM a crypto wallet funded with Base USDC - Let the Ai go to town All open source here: https://github.com/PinataCloud/trendbot

Related: analyze the services you use and think about whether they are financially sustainable. https://orbiter.host/blog/expect-businesses-to-be-sustainable

Added a special bullet point to Orbiter's pricing page to make it clear this is not just about features. It's about building something different and doing it independently.

Did you know you can have a static site and NOT have to write your blog posts in your code editor? Did you know you can have a static site and invite collaborators? This is where a headless CMS shines. I wrote a tutorial on how to use the Pages CMS with a static site and Orbiter. https://orbiter.host/blog/how-to-create-a-static-site-blog-with-a-headless-cms

All these retro computing mini apps and yet there’s no retro photoshop mini app? Cowards! Just kidding, don’t build this. I have never used Photoshop in my life.

Apple is really playing a dangerous game here, imo. Would love to hear the pro-Apple argument on this https://www.theverge.com/news/668232/fortnite-ios-unavailable-worldwide-apple-epic

This is a bummer but I Prevail has been performing a lot without Brian and have done great. I think it’s probably entirely related to Brian’s health. https://loudwire.com/i-prevail-split-brian-burkheiser-statement/

This is why I don’t like the startup subreddits and indie hacker forums or even the conferences. They tell a story by skipping to the end and that encourages others to want to skip to the end. https://longform.asmartbear.com/drudgery/
