Welcome to Bloggi

Thank you for signing up. I’m happy that you’re here. I didn’t want to spend too much time implementing a fancy onboarding flow so I just sneaked in this example post here explaining some things with the hope that you end up reading it. The first thing you should know is that Bloggi uses Markdown for formatting. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for converting plain text into HTML. If you don’t know it, fear not, it is easy to learn. I’ve put together a short Markdown guide for you. Things are pretty basic for now—I wanted to launch the simplest version of Bloggi I could think of and see if there is enough interest before investing more time on it. An especially basic thing right now is the editor. Next thing on my list is adding keyboard shortcuts, formatting buttons and a way to preview your post without leaving the page. But until then, you’re probably better off using a more powerful Markdown editor and just copy-pasting the text here. I love and recommend iA Writer (no affiliation). You might notice that Bloggi is somewhat inspired by it. Other features I’m planning to add are customization options for layout, typography and color schemes. Later, you’ll also be able to fully customize the HTML and CSS of your blog, if you know that stuff. But for now you’re stuck with one simple theme and zero customization options so I hope you like it. If you have any comments or questions feel free to send me an email at hernan@bloggi.co or a tweet at @hernansartorio.
