The Four Horsemen of this emerging Textopia in text renaissance are:
- Roam Research: a hypertext publishing platform best understood as a medium for composing conspiracy theories and extended universes.
- Substack: a careful and thorough ground-up neoclassical reconstruction of the age-old email newsletter.
- Static websites: built out of frameworks like Jekyll or Gatsby (full disclosure: a consulting client).
- Threaded Twitter: a user-pioneered hack-turned-supported feature that has wonderfully revitalized the platform.
