Anything that takes the friction out of managing blogs gets my vote. Every time I think I should write more, I end up spending too much energy on the tech stack, and not enough on the words! Look forward to seeing if Pagecord is the answer!

@daniele_packard Hi, Pagecord isn't an API (yet, at least!), it's a standalone blogging/website builder app. That said, people often use it to complement another site and host it on a subdomain like blog.yourwebsite.com if that makes sense?

@andreyv cheers man! 🙌
It's early days for my pagecord blog, but I'm liking it so far. I was looking for a simple, no fuss text first blogging service and particularly wanted one based in Europe. PageCord seems to tick all those boxes and is a relative bargain to boot.

@jeremyet thanks so much for your feedback :)
Pagecord exceeded my expectations. Simple yet robust. The ability to reply to a post directly via email, without needing to open another application, is a unique feature I haven't found on any other blogging platform. After three months of use, I'm positively impressed with the constant improvements.
Post-by-email for blogging is underrated - it removes the friction of logging into a dashboard and dealing with CMS interfaces. The fact that you can reply to posts directly via email without opening another app is a genuinely unique workflow I haven't seen elsewhere. Privacy-respecting analytics at $29/year is refreshing compared to platforms that monetize through ad tracking. Being open source and Europe-based adds credibility for data sovereignty. How does the email posting handle attachments like images - do they get automatically uploaded and embedded, or do you need to host them separately first?
