Working on some of the hardest concepts of Engineering Strategy. Strategy lifecycle.

Trying to find a good enough model to address things like:
- Lead Times
- Adoption
- Analysis-paralysis
- Systems theory

This is a draft picture, WIP!

Bueno darle vueltas a la estructura es normal. Yo le di varias vueltas tambiΓ©n. AsΓ­ reestructuraciones gordas 2.

Lo de mis 400 pΓ‘ginas no es que lo escribiera todo del tirΓ³n. Es que tenΓ­a mucho material que habΓ­a ido acumulando durante aΓ±os. AsΓ­ que copiaba y pegaba mΓ‘s como "esto irΓ­a aquΓ­" πŸ˜…

Kit: Automated Email Marketing & Newsletter Platform (formerly ConvertKit) Kit (formerly ConvertKit) is the creator-first email marketing and newsletter platform. Grow your audience, automate campaigns, and sell without burnout.

Yo pensaba que el tema no me iba a dar para un libro y cuando iba por la mitad ya llevaba unas 400 pÑginas 🀣 Si te animas, te recomiendo poner acceso pagado al libro en Notion y lo vinculas a tu newsletter. Yo lo hice con kit.com. La gente te va dando feedback y de paso vas monetizando.

Playing with a new idea, a canvas that will let you import full or resources from OpenAPI/AsyncAPI into a diagraming tool for modelling, exploring and visualisation of architectures.

Pretty fun so far 🀩

Substack just embedded live betting into your newsletter. It is time to pack up and leave. This is the same company ignoring writers and profiting from hate speech. When your platform monetizes white supremacy and crypto casinos, it kills trust with your readers.

You need to own your audience. You should not be locked into a platform making wild, unethical decisions. That is exactly why I am building Commune at usecommune.com. It is a headless Substack alternative giving you total control over your content.

@rachelgilmore.bsky.social if you don't want to lose some of the features Substack gives you, you can then connect your Ghost instance to Commune.

I'm building it so we all have an alternative to Substack ✌️

I got all setup on Commune, an alternative to Substack -- I've been missing the network effect on my newsletters, and Commune seems like solid solution. usecommune.com/join/4559982...

Please move off Substack!
Check this out or try Beehiiv, Ghost, something else.
Some platform that doesn’t promote Nazis, antivaxxers and prediction markets that are cooked.

Thanks for the shout-out, Kat! πŸ™Œ

As soon as I get other basic stuff sorted out, I'm going to work on an API so people can immediately start integrating with Commune.

No more walled gardens! No more nazi bars!

In case it helps, I'm building an alternative to Substack. It's usecommune.com. It works with other newsletter providers like Ghost, Kit, MailerLite, Beehiiv, Buttondown, etc.

Apologies for the self-promotion here but I think it's helpful that people get to know there's an alternative now.

Y me he dejado Beehiiv πŸ˜… En fin, he ido aΓ±adiendo integraciones segΓΊn las han ido pidiendo.

Ah! Y como migrar de una puede ser un dolor, tambiΓ©n tiene una "integraciΓ³n" con Substack para que lo evalΓΊes sin prisas.

Gracias por la menciΓ³n, Asier! Me gustarΓ­a aclarar que justo empecΓ© a construir esta alternativa a Substack porque me gusta su producto pero no me gusta el tufillo πŸ˜…

AsΓ­ que lo estoy construyendo conmigo como primer usuario. Yo uso Kit pero ya hay gente usΓ‘ndolo con Ghost, MailerLite y Buttondown.

And I'm building a Substack alternative that works with Kit, Ghost, Beehiiv, Buttondown, MailerLite, and even Substack (if you want to migrate slowly).

Apologies for the self promotion here but I think it's valuable to have alternatives.

Depends on your needs but kit.com has a very good free plan and ghost.org is open source.
