Monday 11:43 · It turns out that you can add 2-factor auth to your own app pretty easily: [Original.]
Monday 12:09 · @cpswan I do hear people asking for this. Tough portion... e.g. how to value anti-abuse heuristics? Much higher value than crypto. [Original, responding to @cpswan.]

Wednesday 11:38 · I like Feedly, but I just paid for a year of Newsblur anyhow. Belt & suspenders. [Original.]
Wednesday 12:07 · How to find your Feedly subscriber count: Ask on Twitter and @edwk might tell you. Probably not scalable, though. I’m sure Edwin agrees. [Original, responding to @edwk.]
