I really like this, but maybe I'm a sucker. I was an early lover of Svbtle, and have tried Bear, hosting my own Jekyll + Hugo static sites, etc.

First of all, I love the clean design + aesthetic. I also like the fact that you don't seem married to one format, unlike most blogs, which are married to...linear blogs only. I hope this leads to more types -- in particular, I dream of having a CMS that can create a site as powerful as Gwern's [0] without the headache of having to maintain it. Things like table-of-contents, built-in citation tools, popovers to other pages, etc. sound like they could work well, if they were a separate type from what you currently offer. But this is just me wishing and dreaming.

If I had to articulate anything, it would be that I hope (but do not see) you offer support for custom domains? Custom domain support typically is a given with paid plans. I can see this being future-work related though.

Typographically, I really like everything. The design is really fresh. It looks well thought-out. I genuinely really like everything you've done!

Thank you for the feedback—still lots to do obviously!

This is on our roadmap already. You will be able to create a book-like page with Sora later.

This is also coming.
