Since the author didnt mention it, the original creator of the patchwork project is https://github.com/pfrazee
When I used it, which admitedly was a long time ago now, the biggest setback was lack of cross device identities. So I ended up having two accounts with two feeds, `wesAtWork` and `wes`. Maybe they have solved this by now.
ps. Does patchwork still have the little gif maker? Because that was a super fun feature.
Also, because Paul has awesome projects, and deserves some attention when a project of his makes it to the top of HN but doesn't even mention him, he is working on a browser for the distributed web called Beaker (I am using it to write this now), and it is awesome.
