Investigate Jekyll. #49

Closed Carreau closed 2 years ago

Carreau commented 9 years ago

Right now, it is complex to add some infomations on the website as one need to write HTML by hand.

A good thing to try would be to investigate Jekyll that should allow to drop markdown files that would be converted to HTML by GitHub.

That would make pages like jupyter_days easier to maintain.

I've run into their read-limit several times, so it isn't new. But something weird is happening right now. In truth I cleared my cookies so I could read the article. In response to your comment above I was just clicking around to try to read 3 so I could upload a screenshot of the full block rather than the small banner you showed, but could not get it to re-appear.

So right now I'm experience what you're experiencing. I can read articles on Medium. But this morning I couldn't, and I regularly find myself there (because it is a popular place to link to) being blocked. When I am not allowed to read without signing in, about 80 % of the time I leave the site, and about 20 % of the time I do what I did this morning - clear cookies, reload, and read.

I guess I could set up my browser to never store cookies from Medium (or create an account!), but given the Jupyter philosophy (I hope), I thought I'd open an issue (or comment on this one) instead.

@mankoff well, it looks like Medium allows each individual article to mark itself as "part of the paywall" or not. In all of the Jupyter articles (that I've read, anyway), this should be marked as "false", and so there is no read limit. For this one article, it seems to be marked as "true", but I think this is an exception. For other blogs etc you land on, those authors may have opted in to the paywall (because they get paid that way)

Hi @choldgraf Thanks for the explanation. I'm happy to hear free reading is the default for Jupyter. And I didn't know authors were getting paid by my reading for the others. I still don't think I'll make an account, but maybe will stop clearing cookies and not read anything paywalled via nefarious methods going forward.

Thanks for bringing this up, IMO we definitely do not want to require readers of the jupyter blog to create an account. So if it turns out that this is some kind of new Medium thing that makes future jupyter posts be behind the paywall, we should definitely switch

Since this ticket has been inactive years, I'm going to close as stale. If you'd like to continue the discussion, feel free to chime in.
