Is Platform Moderation Doomed to Fail? Blogs, algorithms, moderation: how do we balance discoverability with user control?

I wasn't aware of the Substack criticism and it's really interesting. I wrote about this exact topic (moderation) a few days ago and it's not an easy one: eventuallymaking.io/p/is-platfor...

I love building product. I built many products. It's not that hard. But marketing is hard and without it, the product is useless.

Well, apparently, the last article attracted quite a few people (400 times more than the previous one).

It was referenced on Hacker News, but I didn't expect that much traffic ^^.

Vue DashboardSearch Component - Nuxt UI A ready to use CommandPalette to add to your dashboard.

So yesterday I used Fuse and its native integration in Nuxt UI to add a kind of search window.

It's super handy because it also allows you to navigate completely with the keyboard from screen to screen.

Well, I finally decided to migrate to Brevo. The API is clearer and seems to have fewer limitations.
