I’ve contributed to the crowdfunding effort, and if you’re a blogger, you should consider doing so as well. The idea of a new, slimmed-down blogging platform is very attractive to me. It will be a hosted service, but where you can use your own domain names. Typed will work with Markdown as input, allow you to have most of the features that make WordPress attractive: posts and pages, tags, scheduled posts, responsive layouts, themes, and much more. So this blogging platform looks to be an extension of the text editor, reproducing the same ethos of its simple, minimal interface and features. The company recently released a text editor called Typed, which has become my daily writing tool. It’s a good, free blogging platform, but it’s getting complicated to manage, and I, as a writer, would rather spend my time writing than worrying about what runs my blog.Ĭoincidentally, around the same time, I got a heads up from RealMac Software saying that they were launching a crowdfunding campaign for Typed: A Better Blogging Platform. At the time, I was thinking about what alternatives there were to WordPress, which has become cumbersome. I had outgrown my old host, and I needed something more reliable, and that could handle more traffic. Last week, I migrated this website to a new hosting company. Talk about a resounding success! I guess there are enough people who want this sort of lightweight blogging platform.
24 hours after the campaign went live, they’re at +50% of their goal. Update: RealMac Software met their funding goal after about 12 hours.
