# The Bear Manifesto | ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Herman's blog - Host: [herman.bearblog.dev](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/herman.bearblog.dev/) - Saved: January 29, 2025 (2025-01-30T02:43:25Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/62185d7f9f9e/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/62185d7f9f9e.json ## What Jamie wrote I love this manifesto from Herman Martinus, the creator of Bear which is a great indie blogging service. He highlights: 1. Bear won't shut down. 2. Bear won't sell. 3. Bear won't show ads. He even goes further to talk about the legal structure and real thought he has put into making sure Bear continues for as long as possible. I love the ethos of this. I'm a very happy micro.blog customer. If I weren't, I'd be a Bear customer. We need more people building digital services with this mindset. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Appears in - [WT307: Weekly Thing 307 / Attention, Goose, Pulse](https://weekly.thingelstad.com/archive/307/), Notable ## Same host - [How Bear does analytics with CSS | Herman's blog](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/bf21b3d2eb61/) (herman.bearblog.dev, November 2, 2023) - [The sound of silence | ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Herman's blog](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/281e6236a5c8/) (herman.bearblog.dev, February 11, 2025) ## Saved the same week - [Michael Tsai - DeepSeek](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/672574f0bf94/) (mjtsai.com, January 29, 2025) - [FOMO Machines - I am BARRY HESS](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/11d76e5aa6ea/) (bjhess.com, January 29, 2025) - [The Art of Calling Out Room Dynamics](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fc9b07f86520/) (leadership.garden, January 29, 2025) - [Open Heart Protocol](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8760dc32a6a5/) (openheart.fyi, January 29, 2025) - [A Synchronized Start for Linked Devices — Signal](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/624adf6efb52/) (signal.org, January 29, 2025) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://herman.bearblog.dev/manifesto/
