Blogmachine was an app I built a few years ago in order to reach myself React.js.It was minimalist blogging platform that allows users to create a blog and publish and share posts on it.I was thinking about it today while on the toilet and decided to take a look. Somehow, miraculously, it is still up and running.I have no idea if anyone is actually using it, or if I should trust that it would remain working, or if the data would remain stored anywhere, but here we are! I'm kinda pleasantly surprised.

BlogMachine

Hello world!I have made a few updates to the app - mostly tiny quality of life changes. You might notice them.I've also renamed it! We have a new domain now. It's blogmachine.app. Enjoy! hi does this work? is it laggy? I guess not!

Hey there! This is a small demo of what a long post would look like on ghosttype. I didn't write this, nor do I endorse it, but it's a common meme now so I figured it'd be a good work of text to showcase. - David<h2>Introduction</h2>1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.2. The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy.3. If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later.4. We therefore advocate a revolution against the industrial system. This revolution may or may not make use of violence; it may be sudden or it may be a relatively gradual process spanning a few decades. We can’t predict any of that. But we do outline in a very general way the measures that those who hate the industrial system should take in order to prepare the way for a revolution against that form of society. This is not to be a POLITICAL revolution. Its object will be to overthrow not governments but the economic and technological basis of the present society.5. In this article we give attention to only some of the negative developments that have grown out of the industrial-technological system. Other such developments we mention only briefly or ignore altogether. This does not mean that we regard these other developments as unimportant. For practical reasons we have to confine our discussion to areas that have received insufficient public attention or in which we have something new to say. For example, since there are well-developed environmental and wilderness movements, we have written very little about environmental degradation or the destruction of wild nature, even though we consider these to be highly important.<h2>THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MODERN LEFTISM</h2>6. Almost everyone will agree that we live in a deeply troubled society. One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is leftism, so a discussion of the psychology of leftism can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of modern society in general.7. But what is leftism? During the first half of the 20th century leftism could have been practically identified with socialism. Today the movement is fragmented and it is not clear who can properly be called a leftist. When we speak of leftists in this article we have in mind mainly socialists, collectivists, “politically correct” types, feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists and the like. But not everyone who is associated with one of these movements is a leftist. What we are trying to get at in discussing leftism is not so much movement or an ideology as a psychological type, or rather a collection of related types. Thus, what we mean by “leftism” will emerge more clearly in the course of our discussion of leftist psychology. (Also, see paragraphs 227-230.)8. Even so, our conception of leftism will remain a good deal less clear than we would wish, but there doesn’t seem to be any remedy for this. All we are trying to do here is indicate in a rough and approximate way the two psychological tendencies that we believe are the main driving force of modern leftism. We by no means claim to be telling the WHOLE truth about leftist psychology. Also, our discussion is meant to apply to modern leftism only. We leave open the question of the extent to which our discussion could be applied to the leftists of the 19th and early 20th centuries.9. The two psychological tendencies that underlie modern leftism we call “feelings of inferiority” and “oversocialization.” Feelings of inferiority are characteristic of modern leftism as a whole, while oversocialization is characteristic only of a certain segment of modern leftism; but this segment is highly influential.<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/unabomber/manifesto.text.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">You can read more about this here</a>

Hey there! This is my new blogging platform and this is a new post on my new blogging platform.I'm about to unleash this to the world soon and really hope that it works. The thing that concerns me most is that since I'm hosting this entirely on free services, and because my code is a bit slow/inefficient/might need a bit of cleaning up, I really hope people using this won't break the site lmao. That would be bad.I wonder if Images work... guess not. Should probably figure out how to add that soon. lmao
