I can't get to the site so I'm not sure what the details are but if the following aren't in place then those are empty promises.

- Open source the code

- Allow users to supply their own domain

- An API (not "coming soon...")

If all those are in place then great :)

[edit] Looks like the site doesn't support any of the 3 - facepalm



Both 2 and 3 are certainly in the plans. How could we not have an API? And custom domains?

Brett and I have discussed #1 and it's an option we want to keep on the table. First priority is to build and create a great hosted experience, however.


That's good to hear. You would be surprised how many services (even new) don't have public APis. I didn't see it mentioned on the site which is why I assumed it didn't exist.

By custom domains I mean user supplied top level domains. Definitely have a read on how we view URL permanence [1]. I wish more sites thought about it and glad you already are.

Multiple domains names per blog, too?


Out of curiosity, what's the use case for this?
