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).

I wasn't aware of DBOS back then, only now had time to check it out. Actually love the idea of keeping everything in Postgres.

One thing that would hold me back from migrating is https://www.inngest.com/docs/guides/user-defined-workflows - thanks to which my users could quickly add automations (like sending newsletter announcing new blogpost)

Interesting. Are you actually using that functionality? Seems like something you’d just build for your users to keep your own complexity low. Well if you change your mind let me know, we’re happy to help!
