I told a friend about consider.ink and within a handful of short texts he:
- asked very specific questions
- ridiculed some of the implications
- criticized my current solutions
- finally pointed me back to the
drawing board
In short he recognized all the difficulties ink and I will face over the next months and presented them without a filter.
At this point it’s worth mentioning that he himself has worked on a few projects and has built muscle memory for finding pain points between users and the product.
Many would argue this might validate his concerns, but nevertheless describe the delivery as…
Drink in one hand the handle in the other, I was riding my bike and challenged myself to riding as close to the wall as possible.
I tried and I couldn’t even get close to it.
I knew that if I just grazed the wall, I would crash and the spilled drink would be the least of my worries. I was too afraid of the wall to even get close to it.

npm install @fortawesome/free-regular-svg-icons --save-dev
nuxt.config.js

buildModules: [
['nuxt-fontawesome', {
component: 'fa', //customize component name
imports: [{
set: '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons',
icons: ['faLightbulb']
},
{set: '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons',
icons: ['faGithub']
},
{set: '@fortawesome/free-regular-svg-icons',
icons: ['faLightbulb']
},
]
}]

Update: I have since published Readium. Skip the paywall with one click.

I follow them on social media, where they of course predominantly promote their paid content. And it just seemed like all articles I try to read are “prime content”.
Lets see…
I noticed that the content of the article is loaded and then quickly disappears. Which made me want look if I couldnt bring the article back.
Bingo! Turns out the content is still there only hidden.
