I liked the idea, really cool, hermano :) Do you plan to make an Android version of it?

Since there's an API I know at least two people that are working on it :) I plan to ship one once the features are stabilized and iteration is not so aggressive!

This is exactly what an MVP should be, excellent job. This kind of startup has serious chance to become a "lifestyle" business. Maybe not the next billion dollar unicorn, but definitely 7-figure revenue capable. Good luck with the launch and traction!

Thank you! so far since Saturday (when I launched it) it has 2k+ users and 50+ paid customers :)

Wow awesome! I really like the simplicity of it and I am impressed you shipped this in 3 weeks! Supporting custom domains and certificates for them was more annoying than I had expected when I tried it.

It is kind of a pain, I need to automate it more too, let's Encrypt is really great in that regard.

Less than a month ago I decided to build an app for myself to solve a very specific problem: “I want to be able to take notes on my phone, share some of them online, and publish a few on my personal blog — oh, an I also want an API!” I built this is because no tool out there satisfied my needs: - Notion had no native app so it's very slow to use on mobile. Plus is too general. - Medium is a disaster for readers, they…

Honestly, sounds like micro.blog and how I use it. Most importantly, micro.blog uses Micropub, an existing W3C standard API for blogging which is why things like Drafts, iAWriter, MarsEdit etc can all support it.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a very cool project and it looks like you’ve done a great job. I would recommend looking into Micropub support though rather than role your own API. The IndieWeb group has worked hard and built up a lot of easy to use and powerful standards around this stuff.
