								The following are some motivating philosophies:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Open-source. MIT License
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Privacy-first.  This is for sharing with friends and family, not commercial endevors.  If you want a blog for your company, you probably want to use WordPress or Ghost instead.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Easy to use.  Built-in web interface for managing users, customizing the blog, and writing/editing posts with markdown and live-preview.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Low-bandwidth friendly.  Images get downscaled to reduce page load times.  No javascript frameworks.  No ads or trackers.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Customizable.  Add custom CSS or fonts.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* No spam. There is no self-signup for users so there is no place for unauthorized users to impact your life.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Media support for images, videos, and audio.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Private RSS feeds for your friends to follow you.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* Build-in RSS reader to follow your favorite blogs.
