I took a little step back to think more about launching and what's important for Scribbles, especially on the feature set — I had many feature requests (some of which have been implemented).
— An update, launch date, plans and setting it straight on the Scribbles blog.
"It's been difficult for me to think about pricing for Scribbles considering its featured set, yet simplicity."

Let me know what you think ✌️❤️
"Last week I deployed a few changes and tweaks that would be helpful to customise your site even more — as usual I get a request for some of these, so it's always fun to get these in as long as they fit with the overall vision of Scribbles."
OK, all remaining Scribbles invites have been sent out. One more email with questions to answer. Main questions right now:
- Fediverse integration — nope, not happening. Use Micro.blog if you want that.
- Markdown — for now, nope. I prefer simplicity over syntax. Many requests for this 🤔
In the last post I wrote about some stretch goals. Namely expanded posts on the homepage, title-less posts and an RSS feed for Explore. Well, guess what? Yeah, those are all done ✅

Scribbles is already pretty robust, but now it's time to work through my list that are essential for launch.

Also, the last batch of invites going out on Monday. And also... this allows me to concentrate on client work too 😅🫣
Link Me support is ready for you all under "Verification & Proofs" in your blog settings page. And it's super simple.

... also, slight spelling mistake there 😅
I wanted to follow up on creating pages in Scribbles with giving a slightly better overview of what your end result will be when you're in the editor.

This one was fun!
I've seen some creative ways of getting around adding pages, by creating posts and linking to them, so I wanted to tackle that and add some support for pages that keeps things a little cleaner.
