Add an option to use a black background, and it's perfect.

If I may, I would like to add my own Markblog to the list :-) It is basically a static site generator based on markdown files. ( https://github.com/olaven/markblog )
I wish I had the courage to share my projects here, but I'm really afraid of being torn apart. :-)
I made a similar minimal project but targeting github.io, apparently most here want self-hosting.

#223Things I would like in a blogging platform: * Generate lightweight static website * Good clean default CSS so I don't have to mess with it * Automatically upload website to CDN and trigger expirations as necessary. * Self-hosted * Runs on AWS Lambda or any other Function as a Service equivilient * Has a super lightweight CMS that I can easily use on both desktop and mobile, so if I have ideas I can start writing anyw…
Search around a bit, there's a static website generator that runs on git and is hosted by CDNs.
I can't remember the name, but it's commercial and targets major companies for making their landing pages.

Peer’s Certificate issuer is not recognized.
HTTP Strict Transport Security: true

I'd be happy to paste the whole thing somewhere, I'm just avoiding large blobs here.

I built https://taaalk.co - it's a writing platform, but one where it's a group discussion.

* Use a texteditor * Hit save * Let Hugo/Jekyll/Pelican/whatever compile * FTP/SCP onto a server * It's a blog, nobody needs a CDN for that
* Use a texteditor Where? On my iPhone? * Hit save Where does it save it to? * Let Hugo/Jekyll/Pelican/whatever compile Where does that happen? If I want to write on my phone it won't compile on my phone. * FTP/SCP onto a server From my phone? Also I specifically don't want to run a server, or more specifically, I don't want to pay for a server to run all the time. * It's a blog, nobody needs a CDN for that If you're…
Write on your phone, commit to git, have some CI build it and deploy. Simples :)

I have to say I like the character based logo. Inventive use of Unicode I'm guessing.
It’s a fairly well known koamoji. Kaomoji is the horizontal counterpart to smileys and they can get very creative. If you set your iPhone to Japanese keyboard it comes with hundreds of these build in ︎('ω'︎ )
Bold to assume this person has an iPhone :)

Notably, storage vendors and many operating system vendors use different units to describe capacity, so hard disks will always seem small as a result of this. [edit: add qualifying "many"]
Who? Not macOS [1], or Ubuntu [2]. Does Windows still use base-2? They probably shouldn't [3]. [1]: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201402 [2]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy [3]: https://www.tarsnap.com/GB-why.html
Windows uses KB to mean KiB. Raymond Chen explained it in a blog post.[1]

> Write on your phone,
Ok that part's easy.

How? I've never seen a good git client for the phone

Step one, draw a circle. Step two, draw the rest of the owl. :)
While this might be a fun exercise, it's more involved than deploying some code to Lambda.
