What's great
Why is it fantastic? Almost any platform is easy to use in the sense that it is easy to enter text, but Pagecord is also easy to navigate, with no 'how do I get to X from here?' uncertainties. And the developer is responsive and actively working to improve the platform. If it has one shortcoming it is that the developer is a one-person show - so there is always the risk of a waning of enthusiasm or the chance of a sale in the longer term. I don't have all my eggs in one basket but I do like the platform.
What needs improvement
Maybe to he able to vary line width - I only just thought of this now and I may already be possible.
vs Alternatives
Why did you choose Pagecord over other alternatives? I don't choose Pagecord over other platforms; I use it with other platforms - WP self-hosted, WP.com, Mataroa, BearBlog, but I hardly touch Mataroa, and I don't do a lot with BearBlog but I like Pagecord, not least because the developer is responsive (I asked something and he did it) and because he is also proactive.
How reliable is posting by email in daily use?
In my experience, completely reliable.
Is the weekly digest newsletter reliable and easy to manage?
He has his own newsletter rather than users' newsletters - and they are worth reading because he sticks to essentials - how to improve the platform. But he has introduced a neat feature - shuffle - to see other people's work.
Does multilingual UI cover my language well?
No idea

Skiff is an interesting product that after a year or so of active development, sold itself to Notion and is shutting down its suite of products - of which the most important and difficult to move, is EMAIL.
My email to support at Skiff on April 12, 2023
"Reassure me. I like Skiff, security devs like Skiff - I want to move some login emails to skiff - But Skiff has been active for a short time. And I ask myself - what is its medium term future?"
Skiff Support reply the same day:
"Thanks for reaching out! We're lucky to have a huge amount of funding, growth, and support, and we have many years of funding and growth for the future."
So what do I take from this - that I was right to be cautious about putting anything but a few eggs in a new basket - that intentions don't prove themselves except over the long term - that life is a contant fork in the road of how to react to changes, both good and not so good.

I have
* Drafts
* iAWriter
* Standard Notes
And from time to time I use Craft - which is a strange animal that I am never sure I like - and I keep deleting the content and then resurrecting it.
One of the things I am not so fond of in Craft is that it seems to regard each paragraph of writing as a separate block. It is possible to highlight multiple paragraphs and delete them in one action, but somehow I am not keen on the look of it.
So why would I want another note taking app?
I am attracted to note-taking apps. So Bear it is.
Question: Is there a way to see the time stamp on a note in Bear? Sometimes I look back on older notes and want to know when I wrote them.
Answer - Well it is easy to add the current date to a note - see the info under the DATES section here >> https://bear.app/faq/
