I wrote this during the first lockdown mainly because I wanted to write some fresh code in the evenings, but also because I was dissatisfied with Wordpress, Tumblr, Posthaven and static sites, having tried all of them over the years for my blogs.
A blog app is literally every web framework tutorial so it’s a bit embarrassing to show (“is that the best idea you’ve got?!”) but the funny thing is, I actually really love using it and it makes me want to write more, and I am writing more on my blogs! Which is the point of a writing/blogging app after all. It should encourage you to write, not get in the way with themes, CSS, hosting and all that entails.
You can only sign up with an invite code because I haven’t fully decided whether to subject the world to YABA (yet another blog app). I was going to add billing support first as I don’t want to support free customers, but I might see what the reception is here first ;-)
I have a bunch of ideas that will keep the basic writing/publishing concept but make it more of a hub for reading too.
