Inspiring thank you! Edit: for working on an ad free platform :D and all by yourself !
Thank you!
I really like the minimalism here. As coincidence has it I'm working on a similar application that focuses on note taking and offers publishing as a secondary feature. Your comment on image upload being costly rang very true. Have you considered offering a bring-your-own-storage approach to facilitate this? E.g. provide an S3 api key and upload images straight from browser. I'm currently tossing that idea around but not sure if it's out of scope for a minimalist application :)
Hey thanks! Attaching S3 could work, but is currently outside of the scope, especially considering my limited knowledge and experience with AWS.
Nicely done with great ethical principals.
A couple of suggestions:
* You already provide RSS feeds, please add RSS auto-discovery (link=alternate) to the index page of the blog * Opengragh metas for individual blogs can be very useful when your user want to share links to their posts on the social medias.

Thank you! Implementing OG is definitely on the horizon (like next week, most likely) and I will look into adding RSS auto-discovery at the same time.
One more suggestion. The description in the RSS has markdown syntax in it, so it is very confusing. You want to use rendered html snippet in there.
Oops! Will definitely look into this, thanks!
Diary.by constantly evolves based on your feedback, and since it's Thanksgiving I want to gift the first 5 people a PLUS account that includes CSS and image upload :)
