I built JustBlogged because I got frustrated trying to start a personal blog.
WordPress felt like signing up to be a sysadmin. Ghost was expensive for a side project. Medium doesn't give you ownership.
What I built: - 2 minute setup - Custom domain + free SSL included forever - Fast by default (<1s loads) - Free tier that's actually usable - REST API for programmatic posting - Fully customizable themes - Distraction-free writing experience
Tech: Edge-deployed on Cloudflare Workers, global CDN, auto image optimization, fully scalable, no matter how many visitors.
Free forever tier. Pro is $9/mo for branding removal and advanced themes.
Would love what you guys and gals think.
