   Old legend

   There are many new platforms for creating websites nowadays. But I still use WP and it works well. A lot of plugins and templates. Easy to find a developer to customise theme. No monthly fees. So, I like it.

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (September 2025)

  I’m working on Pagecord. Blogging as easy as sending an email. https://pagecord.com Pagecord is free with a very full-featured (and cheap!) premium package. Email newsletter, custom domains, privacy-respecting analytics etc. Source is available. Ruby on Rails: https://github.com/lylo/pagecord. - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Typepad Is Shutting Down

  Wow that's an incredible amount of views. And an incredible shame at the same time. If you want to try out my app Pagecord (https://pagecord.com) I'd happily try and help you migrate over. Biggest problem is the death of the *.typepad.com domain though. I wonder if they'd be willing to add 301 redirects for a year or three? One can hope... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2025)

  Pagecord! Publish your writing effortlessly. All you need is email. Blogging, micro blogging, email newsletter, etc. Freemium, Open source, Ruby on Rails. https://pagecord.com. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Small bootstrapped founders – how do you prioritize resource allocation?

  I don't have a plan for https://pagecord.com. Life's too short. YOLO, etc. My app is relatively feature rich right now so I would say I spend a lot more time on marketing. I still add features of course (and they are a form of marketing), but with AI help these take a lot less time than they used to. Trying to figure out distribution channels, build awareness and so on is the hard yards in 2025. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: If not Kubernetes, what do you use to run your apps?

  I have a single server running https://pagecord.com. I use Hatchbox on a Hetzner server. I wrote a bit about it here: https://olly.pagecord.com/migrating-the-pagecord-rails-app-from-aws-to-hetzner-373cf4cc I have plenty of paying customers but I still think K8s would be complete overkill at this stage. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
