Color Highlighting and a Refreshed Editor Toolbar - Building Pika Out Loud One of our core Pika Principles is to make Pika the best place on the Internet for writing a blog. We think we’re doing a pretty good enough job so far! But over the past year, we hit a wall: we want…

Preview Posts - Building Pika Out Loud When we first built Pika, one of our design goals was to make sure your posts in the editor looked as close as possible to what they’ll look like on your Pika blog. We think we’ve mostly succeeded at ...

We think the look of your posts in the editor is pretty accurate, but it's not _exactly_ your site. So here, have a "Preview" button for your not-yet-published posts 🙂

Good Enough Hello, we are Good Enough. We make useful, well-made software, like Pika, Letterbird, and Album Whale. You’re good enough, too.

This has been a long time coming: We've finally moved our own blog to Pika! goodenough.us

Now about that guestbook and newsletter…

❤️

If you’re into incredibly simple blogging from a great small team of devs (I think it’s just two people now??) I cannot recommend pika.page enough.

They have a guestbook where you can leave doodles on other blogs! I write occasionally at stevetown.blog

No problem and more to refine. Thanks for the shout out!

Good Enough are awesome. Back when I just signed up and was asked how Pika's working out for me, I told them pasting from Apple Notes was a little rough- and I was delighted to get an email just the other day telling me doing just that is greatly improved <3 ty to the team as always

Still on our minds…
