It struck me today that between Obsidian + Sync + Publish, most of the heavy lifting for something like Medium, Substack, or Ghost is already in place.
Has anyone else thought about that?
A user’s published vault can be the foundation of the written material.
What would be needed is a layer that provides selective access, the subscription & payment service, and, I guess, newsletter functionality.
There are (apparently) plugins to help with Obsidian➜Medium and Obsidian➜Ghost, so it’s kind of there already.
But I thought a dedicated platform might allow for other opportunities that other platforms don’t support.
(Personally, I’d like a way to manage mis/disinformation, but that’s just me.)
Not to mention, it showcases Obsidian.
