Changelog August 28th

Small thing, to avoid confusion on Comments and (Komments) β€” you see? August 28, 2026β€’ πŸ’… Komments API key β€” on Blog settings β†’ Comments, paste the key from Komments dashboard β†’ Settings β†’ API. It now makes sure it's not the widget or iframe HTML, or other code. If you paste those, it says this field wants the API key. I may add support for other third-party commenting systems β€” at this stage I still don't want to write my own β€” maybe end of year.

Changelog August 16th β€” August 26th

A lot landed since mid-August β€” just couldn't get to it yet. TLDR; You can remap public URLs, pick light or dark modes for your theme. Plus the usual polish and fixes. August 16, 2026β€’ πŸ› JSON latest-posts β€” GET /api/v1/posts no longer returns archived posts in the latest list. See the JSON API. August 17, 2026β€’ ✨ Public URL maps β€” in the blog’s URL map settings you can change the folders for posts, pages, archives, and categories, or switch to dated permalinks. Old paths keep working, so existing links don’t break. β€’ πŸ› GIF thumbs in the media...

Changelog August 11th β€” August 13th

Just a few things I wanted to tidy after last week’s Appearance work β€” custom themes were still showing a bunch of settings that don’t actually do anything, and photos were getting a bit squeezed. August 11, 2026β€’ πŸ’… Theme Editor β€” your themes sit at the top now. Upload and the starter kit live further down, and once you’ve got a theme the kit tucks away. I don’t like clutter β€” and I try my best to reduce it. β€’ ✨ Switching back to a built-in theme β€” this used to turn off your custom theme the moment you...

Changelog August 5th β€” August 10th

I'm back from holiday. And yeah, I had my phone on me so I could do some minimal stuff last week β€” was kinda cool to work in the terminal on my machine... that sat at home. So here goes! Homepage can be a real page now, Appearance gets proper header layout controls (with a live sketch), and custom domains get a bit more hand-holding when DNS is still catching up (or when blogs move away β€” totally cool). August 5, 2026β€’ ✨ A page as your homepage β€” under Display you can set a published page as the site...

Changelog August 3rd β€” August 4th

A quieter stretch of polish β€” lightbox images behave better, captions show up where they should, and image uploads on your own domain work again when you’re signed in. August 3, 2026β€’ ✨ Center list dates β€” under Display you can show homepage and archive dates as plain centered text, like on the post itself, instead of the pill buttons. Nice when the pills feel like too much chrome. β€’ πŸ’… Smarter lightbox images β€” zoom picks a size that fits your screen (up to 3000px), shows the page image first so it feels instant, then swaps in the sharper...

Changelog July 25th β€” August 1st

Just a few minor things that I wanted to address since the more busy changes the other week β€” Explore settles a bit, custom themes catch up with the built-in ones, and categories get a proper tidy. July 24, 2026β€’ πŸ’… Richer Explore gallery β€” the image gallery can pull from deeper discover posts, so you’ve got more photos to browse when the top of the feed is quiet. More photos please. :) β€’ πŸš€ Snappier Explore β€” mid-feed featured blogs and image strips load as you scroll, instead of holding up the whole page. Loads of things were happening,...

Changelog July 24th

Quieter and focused writing, stickies get a little love, and signing in on your own domain behaves better. July 24, 2026β€’ πŸ’… Calmer writing β€” Draft sits beside Save now, autosave is quieter (preview shows up once you’ve got something saved), Saving/Saved is back on the publish button in a quiet way β€” just a visual cue as it's autosaving, categories are easier to pick or create, and draft sharing lives in a small tray next to Download instead of being buried and hard to figure out. Page options are simpler too. Just trying to get the writing screen out...

Changelog July 22nd β€” July 23rd

More settings tidy-up (still a longer road), Explore’s image gallery gets a bit nicer, and a few rough edges around dates and highlights. July 22, 2026β€’ πŸ’… Dark mode highlights β€” white highlight marks were turning into solid white blobs in dark mode. They now get a soft yellow wash so you can actually read them. β€’ πŸ’… Explore gallery β€” short posts with images show up in the gallery now, and I dropped the β€œFeatured” labels. Felt like clutter in the UI. July 23, 2026β€’ πŸ’… Settings keep getting sorted β€” Nitpick is now Display, Menu is Header &...
