Start your own blog in seconds, with a beautiful minimal theme and an amazing editor that doesn't get in your way. Customise and make it yours.
This morning I also added initial support for Shoutouts.lol to Scribbles. It works pretty great with just the default embed and I added my own opinionated styles — but you can override that of course. Still a bit more to do here. Find it under "Statuslog & Shoutouts" in your blog settings.
A few weeks ago I rewrote the whole routing logic for blogs on Scribbles. Super proud of what I did and even redirects if you landed on an old Scribbles based URL... but I never wrote about it. Long story short... really happy with the way that works now. So good.
Added support for status.lol to Scribbles. Just head on over to your blog settings and add your "address" in the "status.lol & shoutouts" section. Shoutouts will come next week I reckon. Both will show in the footer.
Over the past week, I got a few requests about better handling image metadata, especially preserving colour space and the profile, so those images really pop and look great... and as intended.

"Saying that, I covered in my last post about pricing that I will be introducing a discounted yearly closer to launch. That time is today."

It's time ✌️❤️
Scribbles Explore is now available for anyone, no matter if you have an account or not. This was by design at the start, just so I could gauge how it will look like. Have a look and see what people are writing about 😀
This is how I designed the last database table, and some logic, for the domain feature for Scribbles 😬
"One manual step I was doing for a while now is set up domains for a Scribble blog.
...
Until today (well, yesterday)."

The one thing I totally underestimated with Scribbles is the amount of support I've been getting on various bits, although it's getting less as I've been building. Perhaps I make it an invite only product, so I can stop sign ups if things get too much 🤔 No need to take on the world.
Just a minor PSA that I'm rewriting the domains logic for linking up hostnames with your blogs on Scribbles. It allows for self service, and an interactive easy flow to get you all set up. But now I need to "resolve" the way I tie it up with your blog a little different. Stuff might break 😅😬
Thank you so incredibly much to everyone that believes in my work and signed up for a Lifetime Account on Scribbles. It really means so much to me ✌️❤️
The funds gave the project legs, and is sustainable for the immediate future!
Just sent out another 20 Scribbles invites ✌️❤️
I just enabled the Lifetime prices for Scribbles. Many of you have asked for more price points, so left you some options ✌️❤️
Now I just need some daring souls to give this a go 😋🫣

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).
