Sorry. I was referring to Writespace. For some reason, it requires a sign-in, but another extension that is similar doesn't. So, I was wondering if this is author-specified or what.
Here in my opinion what a blogging platform needs as a least minimum features:
- Good SEO, signal.
- A sense of ownership and trust by the user community.
A blog is like a home. An average person would most likely have one home to live. So a platform should provide enough comfort and trust-worthy mechanism for users to adopt. I guess every blogging platform started with this vision but over time, they lost trust-worthiness and a feel of comfort for users (unless you self-host).
It didn't feel right when Blogger was littered with neighbors who were spammers and pornographers, although blogspot was a fine and crisp start.
The guinea-pig aspect of Wordpress.com and their lack of control for user over their own blogs is another negative. I don't know much about Tumblr and others so I won't speak about them.
Ultimately, if you are providing blogging services as a platform for users to adopt, than you have to ensure that your ground has a solid foundation for users to build their houses.
I've seen other minimalist blogging platforms and I have to admit this one seems a little more responsive (speed-wise), and truly simple to use while retaining the basic feature set that's necessary for a functional blog.
I've opened an account and will test it out. Great work!
Doesn't look like the about and legal links work. (Edit: They work when logged out, but not when logged in.) I do like it, though... reminds me of when Diary-X was still around. I mourned the loss of that site. The simplicity of it all makes my brain happy.
Very nice looking setup. Easy to use (as advertised) and attractive by default. I love the simple look of it.
[edit]Since advice is not forthcoming, I'll add a suggestion instead. A forgot password link would be great on the login page.[/edit]
Oddly, though, I can't log back in. I created an account, made some pages, and signed out. When I try to log in with the email address I used, it correctly changes to my username, but then it says that the username is invalid. Any thoughts? http://d-rock.authpad.com.
Very nice, I like. Performs real well on my phone (VZW stock GNexus) as well. I am really digging the simplicity and the combination of the typographical syntax and html within the textarea.
I wish I could think of some critiques, but I'm really at a loss right now.
Hey, sorry to get back to you so late. No, it actually didn't do it again when I replicated the issue. Maybe I hit the back button to edit it, and it reposted it?
Is there any way to turn a timestamp off for a page? Also, is there/will there be an RSS feed for each blog? And I know it's early, but will you be adding domain name support?
