the team behind Critical Role just launched its own subscription membership service called "Beacon"

@molly0xfff I’ve been very amateur-ly following Indieweb stuff the past few years, and have run my own “notes” section similar to yours - and I’m wondering if you’ve written up how yours works anyplace. It’s very nice!
