I think this idea is really cool, I just don't see myself using this due to the alternatives (GitHub pages, static blog generators etc.)

I've done all the static site generators, I just don't post enough to justify the maintenance, if you do they're probably a better solution! As is, it's pretty basic but I want to add features that GitHub pages don't support

Does this fill a niche that pastebin and bearblog don't? (well designed, but I don't think there's a userbase)

I'm the userbase! I built it for myself and now I'm sharing it with the world. I doubt there is a huge market but even if a fee people find it useful that's good enough for me!

Really liked the idea and execution, probably is something that I will use in the near future. And good luck with your moderation issue! hehehe

Yeah, that was the reason I added the fee. Hoping, maybe naively that that will keep the baddies away.

How is this anonymous when your user is providing you their intimate payment information.

There is no connection between payment and the published page. No logs are kept either. It's open source if you want to host it yourself or audit the code

Can you provide a link to the source, please?

In terms of simple blogs, I use https://bearblog.dev/

I think your project suits more simple static pages. The competitor is more Notion rather than blogs and static site generators.

Nice work all the same. I think what's really missing is a minimal copy of something like google sites.

I want to be able to create something like my website at http://illabundavillage.com.au but I want it to be faster, not tied to google, and a little easier to edit.

There's a spectrum of flashy sites to single page texts. Many projects should aim to be in various shades of the middle.

Care to tell what features GitHub pages are missing?

Creating a GitHub repo with one file titled “index.md” and publishing it to GitHub Pages creates a single-page site using relatively sane defaults. There's no maintenance involved whatsoever. You can add multiple pages as well by creating new .md files and publishing them.

This sounds interesting! What are your thoughts on (for lack of a better term) the marketing of each single page? Is the idea that each page should live on an island, that writers will promote through their own separate channels, or is the idea to eventually have a sort of front page/recommended links? I jumped to this question because it seems like the urge to promote tends to undermine the privacy impetus. It’s not a black and white thing, though.
