Everything you need to blog. Nothing you don’t.

The full list — for writers and tinkerers alike.

Everything a blog needs.

All the quiet things that make a blog worth keeping.

A rich text editor that gets out of your way

Write in plain text or with formatting. No markdown, no toolbar archaeology.

Drafts auto-save. Publish when you’re ready.

Drafts save in your browser as you write — a crashed tab won’t cost you a paragraph. Unpublish anytime.

Photo albums, recipe pages, guestbooks, bookshelves

Pages aren’t just text. Your blog can grow other rooms. Page types →

Tags, navigation, and full-text search

Each tag gets its own URL and feed. Pin the important ones to the blog header. Search keeps old posts findable.

Twenty-seven themes to pick from

Minimalist, warm, retro, dark editor — preview any theme live before applying. Dracula, Nord, Solarized, GeoCities, Synthwave, and more.

Pick your own homepage

Your blog’s front door doesn’t have to be a list of posts. Set any page as the homepage — your album, a now page, a hand-written welcome.

Your own domain, or a free pentokami.com subdomain

Use your own domain in two clicks, or stay free on a subdomain. SSL is provisioned automatically either way.

Run more than one blog from a single account

Keep a personal journal and a project blog without juggling logins. Each gets its own theme, settings, and URL.

Private, password-protected sections

Group posts and pages behind a password. Public stays public; private stays private. One blog, two audiences.

SEO out of the box

Custom meta titles, descriptions, and social images. Canonical URLs, OpenGraph, and Twitter Cards on every page automatically. SEO details →

Feeds for humans first — RSS, Atom, JSON, OPML

Auto-discovered, per-tag, real-time push to readers. Your blog wired into the small web. Feeds →

An API. Read posts, write posts, automate.

Bearer token auth, JSON in, JSON out. Build whatever you want around your blog. API reference →

No trackers, ads, or third-party scripts

Your readers load your words. SSL on every blog, 2FA from day one. A reasonable password and the whole thing is locked down tight.

Fully maintained — zero upkeep

No servers to manage, no software to update, no patches to chase. I handle hosting, backups, and SSL. You write.

Pages load in under a second

Every page is optimized to render fast on any device. No bloat, no third-party scripts, nothing to slow it down.
