It’s March 1, 2024. And this is my first post on Pika.
I just discovered Pika this week after hearing how WordPress.com (my current blog host) would start selling user data to A.I. companies. I opted out…
After watching the video tutorial about Pika, I got excited. Pika looks incredible!
- Super simple/minimal/clean
- Focused on writing
- Markdown enabled but not required
- Halloween theme!
- Auto light/dark mode!
- Exquisite typography and UI
- Utterly simple (see “Brutalism”)
- Did I mention the amazing lack of complexity?
- The back end and front end (public side) look nearly identical
I could go on, but I think you get the point. So here I am, setting up my Pika blog to see if this can be the new home for Jason Journals.
Pika looks like what I personally need for my personal blog.
Pika looks like what the web needs in 2024 for blogging in general, post social-media silos.
50 free posts should give me generous time to test Pika. Consider my first impression to be somewhat smitten. But let’s circle back in a few weeks, after the honeymoon period, and see what I think once my initial enthusiasm wanes. I’m optimistic.
