Moogle.cc is a blogging platform where you can only post using email. If you want to update a post (say, because you found a typo), you have send another email with the correct spelling.

I might have to move away from this restriction though depending on use feedback.

Sample blog - https://dirtydatagirl.moogle.cc (she was front page on HN a few weeks ago)

Can it work without javascript being required?

I'm on flaky 3G and browsing with JS disabled so pages actually load...

I love the concept, how does it differ from say Hey?

It can't work without JS as currently implemented. It's a React app so JS is very tightly coupled with the implementation.

It differs from Hey in that 1. you can email from any email provider like Gmail, Outlook, etc and we make everything look good.

2. It's open source so you can modify and host yourself. GH = https://github.com/moogle-cc/moogle-blog.

3. You can run this on your own domain (which I believe Hey doesn't have as an option unless something's changed in the recent past).

4. You can post downloadable content along with your blogs - so if you want to share a pdf or a worksheet or something with your blog readers, you can do so by attaching the doc to the original email.

(Adding a fifth bullet point because it matters to some people)

5. Moogle comes with its own newsletter AND email marketing service - so it can be your Substack AND MailChimp replacement.

Coming soon:

1. Customisable urls

2. Additional themes and UI
