My blogging suffered severely when Blogo stopped working with the latest OSX a couple of years ago. Why did you guys stop working on it?

It was a different team and different time. The main reason is that Apple decided not to support Ruby/Cocoa anymore and at that time, the team wasn't ready to rebuild it. Now, I can guarantee we'll do everything possible to recover your trust. It would be awesome to have you onboard again.

Hey you guys: you're tripping HN's voting ring detector like mad, and all the new accounts you're creating are just getting themselves and the rest of you penalized. Please don't do that! (And no sockpuppet comments either.) Best of luck with the project! Edit: oh, I'm afraid this post doesn't qualify to be a Show HN because the product isn't ready to be tried out. As the new guidelines say ( https://news.ycombinator…

Can I just change the link to be a direct download one?

Yes, absolutely, if the software is ready to be tried out. And we'll put "Show HN" back in the title in that case, too.

It never stops loading and it crashes on me when I try to type anything. I have a self-signed certificate, maybe that is the cause? I'm running the latest version of Wordpress.

@grimborg can you please email us at support@getblogo.com (or submit a ticket via our website) with this issue? We can help you better at our support channel. Thanks!

Looking good. It reminds me of Windows Live Writer. Are you beta? How can I try it?

Hey, good to hear from you. Yes, we've just released our public beta and you can download it on our website if you join the beta program. About Windows Live Writer, we do have a lot of beta users that migrate from Windows to Mac and are helping us building a very good product. WLW still have a lot of users but Microsoft decided to shut it down. :/

Can we expect a Windows version?

First thing I saw "só testando mesmo" in the screen cap. Well, parece legal (looks cool), I'd like to test it out but, unfortunately, I've got the only mac (the original MBA) that doesn't allow upgrading to 10.8/9. Nice work, though

Hey, thanks! We tried to support 10.8 but there's a lot of features that wasn't supported by the OS, like native notifications, iCloud etc. :/

No worries, things happen. I knew it was due to Apple and rewriting an app is hard.

Hi gverri. We believe in creating a tool for all bloggers, despite their OS. :)

Sounds good?

Would be interesting, if it could plug(o) into Draft ( http://draftin.com ). Great concept, though; it's not just an editor, but a publishing tool (CMS).

Hi there. We have plans to integrate with many platforms and partners. At this moment we will focus on WordPress to validate and iterate faster.

Installed it. Very nice and clean layout. Well done folks! Now for the feature requests :-) - disqus vs wp spam prone comments integration? - mobile version? I usually begin all my blog posts while walking. Currently use Notes on the iPhone and love how when I get back to my MBP its there synced. Just these 2 would be enough for me to switch to using this as my tool of choice for blogging.
