I built this product because I wanted something like Medium, but with less platform branding. However, I love the idea of an interconnected community, so I'm working on a voting system for blog posts where the most popular can be seen on a hub page. However, I get that some people like to keep their blog just about them, so we're not going to have any ads or "related posts" sections on your site, and while by default, you get a url starting with "https://fwiw.me/", contact us and we'll happily add a custom domain to your site (with free ssl too).

You can login with GitHub, Google or Twitter, and manage multiple sites (although while we're in beta, we limit you just to one). We're even building functionality so that multiple people can collaborate on a blog, and if you don't want everyone looking at it, you can set it to private mode so you can only view it in the editor.

@stowe_boyd I've never used tumblr, but I assume it would take a lot of work to do something like that.

@anna_0x It was a month ago. The project appeared to be having traction, but with 0% of the users actually making a blog with it, and because it was taking up more than my entire budget for ALL my projects (I'm 13, money doesn't appear out of thin air), I didn't see much point in continuing the project. If you look around the web (Product Hunt, Indiehackers, etc) you'll find posts with me asking how to get users that actually "use" the product, and I was unable to get any answers. I've still got all the code if I ever wanted to try the project again, but right now, I'm working on projects that have a more direct approach to making profit in order to expand my budget, like https://jepeux.app.

@camdenreeeee That's a good idea, however, we do like a nice consistent style between blogs, but we are thinking about adding a theme colour setting, and we'd like to add banner images.

Loved the concept. Would like to have your product on our listing platform as well. We also have a team of industry leaders, Angel Investors and CEOs on the platform who give a word of advise/review/feedback on products. It's all free. Would love to see you there https://thelister.in/products/ad...
