June 12th, 2025

• Add support for webmentions

April 23rd, 2025

• We gave 20 dollars to a hackathon (transaction)

April 20th, 2025

• Added ?q=source support for Micropub

• Added basic IndieAuth support (half-functional)

• Fixed HTML <-> Markdown conversion for Micropub publishing. Micropub clients would get Markdown and the server would get HTML. On the fly conversion has been implemented now.

• Draft posts will have the subdomain drafts to prevent confusion in some Micropub clients.

• Added support for E-mail forwarding for users (e.g. bark@inbox.snout.nu -> bark's email)

• Added the ability to customize the slug for a post. Also respects mp-slug when updating via Micropub.

April 19th, 2025:

• Added the editor for dark mode. Use your device's settings to toggle it.

• Fixed the API which allows users to trigger a rebuild (rate-limited to 1 req/60s.)

• Added logic to send a purge request to the CDN when a rebuild is triggered.

• Fixed an issue which made a line break element appear under bullet lists (like this one.)

• Fixed /view/:id endpoint

• Added Micropub support (h-entry)

April 18th, 2025: Fixed an issue where some sites would unexpectedly load content from other users' sites. That was weird, but it shouldn't happen anymore. To be clear, this was a misconfiguration in the CDN (CDN cache key), not a leakage of draft files. The CDN does not touch draft files. Funnily enough this was before we even launched.
