I’ve been at a loose end for the past few days so I decided to build a thing. I’m largely devoid of original ideas so I built a (micro-) blogging app with a slight twist: you run it using email.
All you need is an email account. No new tools to wrangle. No password to forget.
Compose in your favourite email editor and send to a secret address. Pagecord does the rest.
It's great for bloggy long-form writing, but it’s maybe even more fun for micro-blogging your thoughts as you would a Twitter feed (you can subscribe to people/blogs using RSS).
I figured nobody would pay so it's entirely free (I do accept donations ).

I put together a short video for the home page which shows it in action. There’s an FAQ at https://pagecord.com/faq and you can see my actual feed at https://pagecord.com/pagecord.
That’s it. Just a bit of fun, but maybe some people will enjoy it. Let me know what you think and have a lovely day!
