Welcome, Kev, to the group of bloggers building their own blogging systems because all other options didn’t exactly fit their needs! 😄

Even though Kev is no professional developer, the project looks remarkable! Maybe not being a professional developer is what prevents you from simply building just another blogging system tailored towards developers. It took me five years to finally write good (or at least somewhat good) documentation. Kev did it right away for Pure Blog (also with videos!).

Is it your final blog migration, Kev? I also migrated my blog a couple of times before I started building GoBlog. Since then I haven’t thought once about migrating again, as whenever I have the need for a new feature or some change, I can simply implement it myself.

Kev built his own microblog using WordPress and iOS shortcuts to separate his long and short posts. It sounds like this is a better alternative for him than micro.blog. Maybe with SQLite as the database he can even simplify this setup.

Why do I have both post types in one blog? I don’t want to decide what’s a long post and what’s a micro post. Most of my long posts aren’t long enough to really make that distinction. And I like having everything in one place.

Simon Willison is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his blog. Amazing!
