your corner
of the web

A place to write honestly. Your blog, your voice, your rules — federated and free.

✍️

Just write

Markdown editor with auto-saving drafts and scheduled publishing. No distractions, no algorithmic pressure.

🌐

Publish once, reach everyone

Every post goes out via ActivityPub, Bluesky, and RSS — and sends Webmentions to sites you link to. Your readers follow from wherever they already are.

🎨

Make it yours

Custom themes, avatars, CSS, and an editable home page. Your blog should look like you.

Your blog is your profile

Every blog is a full social profile — avatar, bio, customizable theme colors, and a landing page you control. Readers can browse your posts, follow you, like your work, and leave comments, all in one place.

blog profile

A real feed, no algorithm

Your dashboard shows a chronological feed of posts from everyone you follow — local blogs, fediverse accounts, and ATproto publications, all in one stream. No engagement-optimized ranking. No ads between posts. Just the people you choose to read.

your feed

Comments and likes that cross networks

Readers can like and comment on your posts whether they're on fediverse apps like Mastodon, or ATproto apps like Leaflet. feels supports threaded replies, @-mentions that notify across the fediverse, real-time notifications, and even Webmentions, so you know when others are linking to your blog.

comments

Make it yours

  • Custom color themes
  • Avatar uploads
  • A customizable home page alongside your blog posts
  • A "Now Playing" widget to show what you're listening to
  • Recommend other blogs you love, compatible with Ghost

Your blog should look like you, not like every other blog on the platform.

How it's different

feels Substack Medium Tumblr
Audience ownership Yours. Open protocols mean followers follow you. Substack owns the email list. Medium owns the relationship. No federation, no export.
Algorithmic feed No. Chronological, always. Notes is algorithmically ranked. Heavily algorithmic. Mostly chronological, but injected recs.
Portability Full. Move servers, keep followers. CSV export only. None. None.
Monetization pressure None. No fees, no nudges. 10% cut, constant "go paid" nudges. Paywalled membership model. Ads and Tumblr+.
Self-hosting Yes. One binary, your server. No. No. No.
Custom styling Theme colors, custom CSS, avatars. Limited colors and logo. Almost none. Themes, but locked to Tumblr.
Open protocols ActivityPub + ATproto + RSS + Webmentions. RSS only (sometimes broken). RSS as an afterthought. Limited ActivityPub.
Cross-site recommendations Yes. Ghost-compatible, open standard. Platform-controlled recs only. No. No.

Own your data, keep your audience

Self-hostable. One Go binary, a MySQL database, and you're running. Your posts, your images, your follower list — all on your server. If you move, your followers don't have to re-find you. That's the point of federation.
