Easy to use. Built-in web interface for managing users, customizing the blog, and writing/editing posts with markdown and live-preview.
Low-bandwidth friendly. Images get downscaled to reduce page load times. No javascript frameworks. No ads or trackers.
Customizable. Add custom CSS or fonts.
No spam. There is no self-signup for users so there is no place for unauthorized users to impact your life.
Media support for images, videos, and audio.
Private RSS feeds for your friends to follow you.
Build-in RSS reader to follow your favorite blogs.
