Product Hunt has launched a new page to manage newsletter subscriptions. This used to be on a third-party website.

That sound you hear is the fediverse expanding!

"ActivityPub 1.0.0 for WordPress has been released allowing WordPress blogs to be followed by others on apps like Mastodon and others in the fediverse and then receive replies back as comments on their own sites."

Pixelmator Pro 3.4 is out focusing on improved PDF support, including support for "Apple PDFs" — which sounds suspiciously like a new proprietary direction for the "portable document format"?

Will this format be announced at tomorrow's ?

@codepope right, but what other non-Apple products support this format?

@JonnyT just seems quite conspicuous to call this out — since it seems related to iWork-generated documents.

Breaking news! It's late 2023 and CNN has finally added support for Dark Mode! 🙄

Wow, I go offline for 10 days and now X/Twitter wants to share my email address with its creators/gives me access to my subscribers' emails.

How SubStackian.

How many people blindly tap "I agree" without reading?

Happy 16th ! The humble hashtag turns old enough to drive today! 🎂

Here's my proposal that kicked it off. Some of the ideas in here have still never been built by a mainstream social media platform. 😬

On the topic of hashtag accessibility, I stronger concur with @markwyner's points:

  1. Should hashtags be grouped at the end of a post or is it okay to add hashtags to words inline? Screen readers will treat them the same either way.

  2. Is it necessary to capitalize single words? No.

  3. What about branded words? This is more complex, but as a rule of thumb it’s okay to capitalize branded words as they are.

@IceCubesApp @superflippy yes! CamelCase would be a big accessibility win!

Is it time for hashtags to evolve?

Well, they're about to on Mastodon due to an upcoming change in v4.2.0, advanced by @Gargron himself.

I have some thoughts.

@osma Yeah, I'd agree with that, although again, Day One provides an alternative example (though also supports some Markdown syntax).
