I've seen this mentality a lot as well, in particular the idea of "if you don't like this fork it" which extends beyond just software. I wonder how much of it is people not being willing to compromise on something they've started and how much of it is people not willing to work on it and just "fork it". Anyways, look guys, I've got this genius way to publish blog posts: It's like an even more minimalist Medium/Svtble with extensibility of Wordpress and the reblogging virality of tumblr. It'll be open for a private first-look-alpha to enterprising thought leaders only until I can make a techcrunch launch in 2015, get some funding, pivot, then open it to everyone else by abandoning it on github. edit: oh yeah, you can follow my progress in r/bestblog on reddit, and if you don't like how I moderate you can follow on r/truebestblog or r/bestblogrebooted
