You don't need a new website. You need to make your current website more effective! How can you do that? There is no single answer -- websites are part of a larger system, and you need to consider many different aspects to make your site effective. We've been making websites since the start of the web, and know what makes them work -- as well as not work. Take what we have learned to make your site better!

Automatically send notifications to a Matrix chat room

When you work on a team, it's useful to have notifications go to a chat room where you can coordinate any necessary action. Reviewing a comment before publishing, seeing stories as they are written, getting notified of new orders are the kinds of things we like having in a shared room.

Post Salt events into a Matrix room

In our quest to get all things into Matrix, we've also sent Salt events into a Matrix room. This is extremely useful to monitor the results of automatic highstate runs, individual commands, etc.

Yet another messaging platform: Why Riot?

The Permanent Web

September 2016

[Update: a few days after I published this, Vector.im rebranded as Riot.im. It's the same project, just a new name...]

In 5,000 years, will anybody be able to read (or even access) things we put online today? Here at the dawn of the information age, we are creating the archetypes that have big implications, possibly for thousands of years. There's a bunch of recent science fiction stories that imagine various futures, written with the perspective of today's web, extrapolating where things might go as humanity evolves.
