That's intentional. I believe in the power of pure text and ideas. No distractions, no tracking, no ads, no fancy features - just your words and your readers. This platform is inspired by the early web, where content was king and distractions were minimal.
Yes, it's currently 100% free. The platform is extremely lightweight and costs very little to maintain. In the future, I might introduce a symbolic fee (around $1 per year per blog) or accept donations if needed, but for now, I am happy to keep it free.
I believe in the power of words. When you can't rely on images or fancy formatting, you focus on what truly matters: your writing. Plus, this keeps the platform fast, accessible, and incredibly simple to use.
The platform supports basic Markdown for:
None. I only count page views (using a simple counter, not analytics). You and I don't know who your readers are, where they come from, or what they do. I believe in privacy and simplicity.
Only if they align with my core philosophy of simplicity and text-first blogging. I won't add features just because I can.

You probably shouldn't if you need images, videos, or complex formatting. But if you believe in the power of pure text, want a distraction-free writing environment, and care about reader privacy and speed, you're in the right place.
No reasonable limits. Since we only store text, you can write as much as you want. Write a novel if you'd like.
