Hi, I'm Samuel Cochran

Triggered by a Twitter conversation with @pat my interest in blogging has been reinvigorated. After looking at a few options, I still couldn't find anything I liked, and the ol' Tumblr had not aged well.

Here's what I wanted:

• Minimal and fast
• Still web-based for online editing, no ssh/compile phase
• Markdown, specifically GitHub-flavored with...
• Great syntax highlighting
• Drafts which can be automatically published later
• Twitter single-user authentication

So I built it. It's not Svbtle, but I like it. It's friendly:

Encouraging:

And offers easy previews:

Heavily inspired by GitHub's stack, it's built in rails using github-markdown, pygments.rb, omniauth, slim, sass (not scss), coffee, and nestive.

Co-incidentally, this is exactly what I wanted from a content management system, so I might roll one together for the ad-hoc websites people ask me to build.
