Good morning y’all. Cohost has now shut down and so here’s my inaugural “I am now posting here and only here” post.

I’m from the future and I don’t know what cohost is. What happened?

Cohost was a website that ran from 2022 to 2024. It was probably the best social media site ever made, and now it’s gone. Unfortunately, that’s the world we live in now, and so I have to do something new. That something new will be this site! Welcome to Evie On→Line. It’s by me, evie! I live in your computer.

What’s the plans for the future of this site?

Hoo boy do I have a lot planned. First off, the technical stuff:

• Fix comments
• Add a like button. Don’t worry, it won’t have numbers
• Make sure the styles are functional. Everything is currently held together with duct tape and a dream and I have enough CSS knowledge to do better than that.
• Improve the markup.

also for all yall wondering. comments will come soon dw 💗 i’m working on it. prolly gotta also make a better system for avoiding name conflicts than just naming every file myself

maybe i should start sharing more links. i have like a million links stored across different services that id love to aggregate and go like “here’s some truly great stuff”. just a random thought

This is a mini app review, in case you couldn’t tell from the tag that says “app review”.

Flyleaf is a “read it later” app whose main inspiration is Instapaper, an old read later app from 2008 (and probably the first one ever made). But it’s not just based on Instapaper, it’s based on the Instapaper from 2008. With pagination. The dev has stated that his main reason for making it is just that there’s nothing else out there that has Instapaper’s pagination feature, and Instapaper itself doesn’t even support it that well.

I quite like pagination (scrolling hurts my wrist and feels worse to read), so it was a no brainer for me to use. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s cheaper than the read later app I was using before (also, matter is integrating a bunch of ai features that get in the way of the reading part of a read later app. Really sucks but that’s what vc money gets you). I’m still using the old one too for the remaining length of the subscription, but I’m hoping that I won’t have to r…

This post was written on my phone! Trying to build a bit of a workflow maybe to make posting on mobile as seamless as possible.

Here's a test post! Just giving things a try here. Expect more to come!
