A "censored line" approach to paywalling

Hello @josephkman,

  1. In case you’re not aware, those ellipses on Stratechery you speak of are footnote functionality made possible with usage of the Bigfoot script (whose site is currently down I see, an archive available here and its GitHub page here).
    I use the script on my site for footnote functionality, and I must say that it’s great. The main problem is that execution of it is a pain the ass, requiring an HTML card whenever you want to insert a footnote as well as the need to adjust an HTML card down at the bottom of the post with each added footnote (which have to be in order if you’re using numerals instead of ellipses, which can be even more of a pain in the ass if you want to switch around the order of paragraphs/footnotes and thus their sequential order). All of this means that it’s far from user-friendly for the non-tech savvy. If there could be a way to make Bigfoot somehow more user-friendly with Ghost, that’d be utterly amazing.

  2. In terms of censored portions (be they lines or paragraphs), you could do so manually via adapting a methodology I mentioned earlier for inserting signup forms within posts.
