## What Jamie wrote

Cool project from Thompson to power his own businesses, but built completely on open standards. Love how he approached this and how the solution works. It is interesting that Passport uses unique URL's to grant access to content.

> every link is unique to that user, making the integration with the Stratechery website completely seamless

He put an interesting ability to sell subscriptions across multiple Passport sites too.

> A Passport-powered site like Stratechery can sell subscriptions to a different Passport-powered site like Dithering (with permission, of course).

This seems like it could be a big deal. Allowing groups of creators to sell bundles of content between them could be a very powerful way to gain more subscribers.
