pezblog: the blog you've always missed

pezblog was inspired by the feel of blogs/personal websites from the early 2000s. Nowadays, it's hard to get the same raw feeling from writing on a Substack or Wordpress site. Treat yourself to something better.

Getting started

Getting started is as easy as signing up for an account here. Claim the short usernames while they're still available! You can login using a simple username/password (no unnecessary integrations needed). Logging in with email also works.

Writing an entry

Not really much to it. Add a title (can be something as simple as "journal #1" if you're not feeling creative) and some content and add the entry. Entries will always be sorted on the dashboard in reverse chronological order (most recent first).

Sharing an entry

Thought one of your journal entries was worthy of sharing with the world? Press the "share" button in the bottom right of each entry to copy a unique link to that entry only and make it publicly viewable. Users can only share their own entries (obviously), and they completely choose which entries to keep private!

Streaks
