I signed up. Was as simple to use as the video describes.
Things I would like added:
1)Possibility to add a seperate about page and other pages.
2)Allow for a one line blurb on sidebar to describe what the blog is all about.
3)Custom Title for blog/site. Eg <name>'s blog to My Awesome Site.
4)Option to remove date from post instead of having to use CSS display:none:
Otherwise I'm happy. Was using WordPress and SquareSpace recently to host a simple blog but felt like it was overkill. I do not like either of their mobile apps. They feel clunky compared to IA Writer.
And for me, for writing, you cannot beat the simplicity of your favourite text editor and dropbox for publishing. Whether on desktop or mobile. The combination works really well.
First impressions, am happy with blot.im. Its barebones but lets see how it turns out in the wild.
- dmerfield 12y agoAwesome, thank you for giving it a try! These are all good features to have. 1) About page and custom pages are on the to do list. I need to work out a simple way to add this content from the user's perspective. 2 & 3) Great idea for the blurb and custom site title. 4) Interesting, hadn't anticipated this request. Would you like a global option to hide publish dates? And yeah, IA writer is excellent. It's great to be able to publish a blog post from inside their mobile app!
- bluthru 12y agoMaybe have each site page require an underscore: _about.txt, _links.txt, etc. This way the pages appear at the top of the dropbox folder.
- rb2e 12y agoI would have to second this. It would make things really easy and simple to configure.
- rb2e 12y agoHi, a global option to hide dates would be handy. See some people love posts to have dates on them say if you're discussing a current event, its a good idea. Other times, removing a date, makes the content seem more timeless.
