I would like to try writing a post before signing up, or at least see what the import/export looks like

I want to see if source code snippets, SVG, LaTeX, etc. works

Same issue with bearblog.dev. They show you example rendered posts but not the example source

Good points.

For the post source, it's just simple text markdown. SVG and LaTeX do not work. Most custom HTML and CSS does not work.

The allowed HTML elements/attributes and CSS rules that work are these: https://github.com/sirodoht/mataroa/blob/2d1524e1f3ba968efcb...

"signing up" is completely painless

  - no cost, no email required
  - choose a subdomain name aka login
  - choose a password
  - done
they've alredy given you exactly what you're asking for
Yeah, sadly the only demo sites you see anymore are mostly for b2b services.
Could you sign up using a mailinator.com account just to kick the tires?
You can sign up for an account without an email address, so I don't think there is a need for Mailinator here.
