01 / Pace
Write when you want
Some months bring lots of ideas; some don't. I'd rather not make a quiet month feel like a wasted subscription.
A small project for people who like to write
A little corner of the internet, at your own pace.
I'm building nook.blog because I want a personal blog of my own. I'd like it to be a welcoming place for other independent writers too—without asking anyone to turn a hobby into a monthly commitment.
What I'm hoping to build
A blog that leaves room for real life.
These are the ideas guiding the project, not a list of finished features. I'm building nook.blog step by step.
02 / Tools
Keep the useful things together
Custom domains, pages, and room for long posts should not be rewards for choosing a more expensive tier.
03 / Upkeep
Be honest about costs
Running a site has a bill. I'm exploring ways for people who use nook.blog to share it, with optional support for those who want to give more.
An idea I'm exploring
Share the bill, not a feature checklist.
nook.blog costs me about $20 a month right now, and I'm happy to cover that while I build something I need myself. If more people join, perhaps we can share the real monthly cost evenly.
$20 ÷ 1 person = $20 each
$20 ÷ 100 people = $0.20 each
Just an example, not a price or a working billing plan. Costs can change, and shared billing and donations aren't available yet.
