Another kid in town: thegrid.io
Look at the grid.
p.s.: the .io is getting every day more popular.

Holy cow. Hard not to be impressed by the claims, even if the ToS are a bit scary:
You grant The Grid a nonexclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual, unlimited, assignable, sublicenseable, fully paid up and royalty-free right to us to copy, prepare derivative works of, improve, distribute, publish, remove, retain, add, modify, process, analyze, use, in any way solely for the purpose to enhance, to perform and to promote The Grid Service.
Looks like only fairly rudimentary sites will be supported though; a tumblelog-style space to post “stuff wot I did today” or to repost anything you follow, with optional buttons to sell things you might post.
Doubt it could handle the complexity of the multi-sites I’m designing with 25K products drop-shipped from ten different suppliers using multiple couriers with a variety of tracked shipping options, account management, product administration, promo codes, integration with Amazon and eBay selling channels, pay-per-click campaigns, financial reporting and phone sales support. To be fair, Txp couldn’t manage it either…
The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.

Henri Bergius is a pretty serious dude-bro viking. He’s one of the people behind the “decoupled” movement, also known as “headless”, which is getting increasing attention. Pantheon (interesting) has just released a headless guide.

Interesting that he uses Disqus comments but also has calls to webmention.io (another .io domain) in the header.
I’ve been playing around a tiny bit with the IndieWebCamp stuff.
