Looks nice so far. I'm a fan of these new minimal blogging alternatives to Medium.

Also, check out WriteFreely for an open-sourced blogging platform that is federated with ActivityPub, that you can also deploy yourself. Write.as is the main instance.

I think I'd probably stick with writefreely just because it's open source; as far as I can see from the page, Notepin isn't.

Sad thing about writefreely is the mysql requirement. I am big fan of flat markdown files for content. And if not that then sqlite is perfect.

Just to mention, MySQL isn't actually required for WriteFreely -- as of v0.6, you can use SQLite instead.

Awesome.
