good luck mate. I've gone down from 108 to around 92 at my lowest. Took a lot of effort, but it's a similar story I think, lots of stress and long hours make it hard to manage my health. I'll be rooting for you

agree. It's kinda hard to work out if it's thriving. Time in the browsers seems to be declining, which would suggest even if there is more breadth of content it might not be being seen.... is that an issue? I don't know.

There's lots of data about the usage of web constantly declining, replaced by time on closed platforms (FB, Insta, TikTok) and apps. I think it's true.
What are "only the web can do this" experiences you've seen? I want to create as a big a list as possible

I ended up munging my own RSS-> JSON -> Edits -> RSS.
I've been wanting a way to get full-feed RSS when the author doesn't provide it.
Code: https://github.com/PaulKinlan/full-rss/tree/main
Example: https://full-rss.deno.dev/?url=https://developer.chrome.com/static/blog/feed.xml
Not perfect, and I need to convert the markdown to HTML, but it's getting there

If you like RSS feeds but get overwhelmed keeping up with them, hit me up. I've been building a small service that sends you summaries everyday.
I'd love some testers and feedback

Has anyone got any research on the size and shape of the web and web development in China?

I dunno, still thinking. Each client could have an inbox (proxied somehow) that would get notifications for people or feeds they want to follow... Maybe even have an outbox (again magically proxied somehow) that could be shared too or bookmarked.
I'm just trying to do some research right now

Are there any browsers with ActivityPub directly integrated?

Voted. Excited for the result.
