It was only a few years ago Tumblr was worth $1.3 billion and rumors say Automattic will acquire it for as little as $3 million. I used it for a few years from maybe 2009 through 2014. I closed the account soon after Yahoo acquired it.
I’ve found social media platforms to be increasingly worrying as they’ve started to double down on trackers. Which is why I comment and syndicate my thoughts out rather than share them natively to whatever platform I’m using.
Diving into the Campsite 2017 theme by the #WCEU team has led me to do some research into different methodologies. Generally I go by the WordPress CSS Coding standards however, this doesn’t address how the document itself is organized as a whole 🙂

A notification ping, a quick Ctrl+Tab swap to another website and back. Distractions are common when writing in a web browser. I find that focus can be maintained with the WordPress desktop app.
A new post becomes distraction free environment, a direct link between you and your website. The interface is identical to your post editor styles so you’ll be editing and writing within a familiar environment. Even down to the keyboard shortcuts (SHIFT+ALT+H). I find this is a welcome alternative to the standard dashboard.
The app is GPL2 licensed but comes with a caveat requiring self hosted websites use the Jetpack plugin. 🙁
