Toward a durable writing stack – Writings and rehearsals by Nathan Schneider

I said I was busy. I’m the dev behind byline.pub, now live in beta (rough BETA 😉). I've added my books. I’m building it on the AT Protocol because I think indie authors deserve a better public home for their work than scattered links and platform profiles. I’d love your feedback: byline.pub
byline.pub is now live in beta
