Huge congratulations to the Chips and Cheese team on what they have achieved. The quality and volume of posts on the site - particularly from clamchowder - has been stunning.
IMHO sustainability of the site should be a primary concern. The team should really do what they think is best, given their time and resources, to enable them to continue to deliver on their mission.
> We’ve been considering moving over to Substack
> Decreased monthly cost compared to the current WordPress + Cloudflare setup
Curious what the setup currently is that it is considering monthly costs? It 'only' had 911 369 views in 2023, that is not particularly taxing for static content.
Congratulations on the success so far! Clamchowder's contributions shine light into micro-architectures in a way that is without parallel. I always look forward to new articles, especially on the CPU side.
Substack is not great. Please look for something else.
The two major aspects I'd like to see improved are:
- Consistent and easy way to access to full resolution images
- Reader-mode support, right now it's hit or miss with many pictures just not rendering
Pleas no Substack! People who use a screen reader like simple pages.
I think your current layout is great
Please don't move to Substack. You have a beautiful website which I enjoy visiting. I never enjoy opening Substack.
