I'm a big fan of Write Freely. I love what Matt is doing for the open web. I can't see Pagecord competing with it any time soon, but who knows. I built Pagecord as a side project using Ruby for myself, and as an alternative to HEY World for people who don't use HEY. I wanted to include features I missed in HEY World such as media embeds and custom domains. As I got customers, I decided to open source it as a way of better guaranteeing longevity of the platform should I fall under a bus. The goal of it is really to offer a way to (micro)blog as effortlessly as possible, as well as allowing people to _follow_ a Pagecord blog as simply as possible. I'm just about to launch email subscriptions for that (it's in beta), and all blogs supports RSS of course. Off the back of this I actually built an RSS reader to try and make it easier for people to get started with RSS too :) https://feedgrab.net https://feedgrab.net
