Inspired by interactive blog posts:

I’m building a publishing stack for “vibe blogging”, think Bolt.new x Substack. It consists of:

Authoring: users write Markdown, LLM turns it into interactive MDX post

Sandboxing: MDX with generated widgets is rendered in e2b sandbox

Pipelines: generation & publishing (sanitization, etc) pipelines run on Inngest (their docs won me over Temporal)

Distribution: via subdomain/paid custom domain. Stripped version of the post for repurpose as a newsletter (Inngest Workflows)

Demo is nearly ready, I’ll launch it on Show HN and share it with waitlist subscribers soon.

I’d love feedback on:

1. Does it make sense to go mobile first and focus on ‘interactive micro-blogging’ (Twitter with widgets)?

2. I consider launching in price sensitive, but creator-rich markets like India, Brazil and Mexico to build momentum. Anybody has experience with that?

All thoughts welcome!

    Curious why you chose Inngest over DBOS? (Disclosure: I’m the CEO of DBOS, trying to figure out what we can do better).
