Does anyone use Paragraph for blogs and/or newsletters? I am wondering what the options for including media in a post are. I’m sure images are no problem. What about embedding code (to read)? Or PDFs. Or code (to run—I am assuming this is a no go, but it doesn’t hurt to ask). I am thinking of using it to do deep dives on tech, especially architecture. Posts that may benefit from code snippets or PDF previews and whatnot.

What you want to do sounds interesting, Vanessa... Regarding your Q's definitely @stc is the one to ask. He has been publishing some great essays there, and I believe he has been using a range of mediums. His latest (?) > https://paragraph.xyz/@stc/time-shifting

hey, I like to use paragraph, because it is very well integrated with the farcaster ecosystem. regarding to embeds - afaik there are not too many media types you can use directly, text highlighting of course works for code, but it is not really possible to embed realtime code in an article. for that matter, things like Observable or hashnode can work nicely, or for example you can embed iframes into Medium posts to display your custom code snippets

Thanks! I could see from a couple of your articles that you can put formatted code in there. You even had a mint page embedded (from Highlight maybe?). I think that ought to be good enough for me. If I want running code I can put it somewhere else and link to it. TBH the first articles I have in mind wouldn’t need running code in the page. And I think they’d be interesting to some FC people. For other stuff I will make a blog, maybe with Ghost.
