Thanks for the feedback!
I'm on my way back in (have a "come back" post partially done), and am likely going to 86 doing Medium and Substack. At this point I've enjoyed the Midnight and Write.as a lot more, and I agree regarding the "Web 2.0"-ness of the others.
I'm using your theme, but it doesn't work properly for some reason. My entire screen is white with red text.
