Little explainer / sample post
Hello! I thought I'd write a little example post, just so you could see what one looks like.
You should try writing one yourself — the editor's really neat, lots you can do. (It still keeps things really simple!) There's some customisation I'd like to do etc but I thought I'd send you this in the meantime so you could play around. If you like the system and think this looks OK, let's get started.
You can do some clever things, like embedding content from elsewhere. Youtube, snippets of code, songs from from Spotify. For example…:
Songs are easy to embed from Spotify!
This is a "call to action" / emphasised block — we can add a "sponsored" label above (ambition unintended…?) and the button below can be made to go places.
I can imagine we might use this to note something that readers should fact check, or note something really important, like a take-home message or a sudden realisation we had when writing. Or a quote?
Anyway: the editor for posts themselves is extremely easy to use, and it mostly just lets you write. Gets out of the way unless you actually want to do something particular.
AFAICT it's mostly markdown compliant. So, if you want to introduce a subheading, you can start a line with ## and that line will become a subheading. You can make something italic by surrounding with _ or *, and make something bold by surrounding with two instead of one — just like in a whatsapp message.
I'll let you have a play around anyway — if you like the look of it let me know! You should have all the same permissions I do with the invite I sent earlier, so feel free to mess with things if you like. Layout, theme, etc.
(I'm not a huge fan of the theme / layout as it currently exists, but it's something we can change. It's also totally possible to build our own ones if there's something we want to change about the existing themes. We should hop on a call and discuss sometime!)
