pros
It's a minimalist and fast blog platform.
I like the philosophy and the modus operandi.
There are most of the features I'd like to have and the pricing for the premium plan is honest in my opinion.
bugs
That I discovered so far:
-
I checked my blog in a private tab and posts order for same-day posts is different from the one I see when logged (that is the chronological correct one).
-
I edited a bunch of times a post since it was a long one (I find it easier to reread it formatted) and I then discovered multiple copies of it in my blog homepage.
-
scheduled posts feature works, but it's unclear with time zone it does use.
missing features
There are a few features I miss on Mataroa, on the top of my head:
-
tags support, since it's a blog
-
a few preview lines in the blog homepage and post list pagination
-
there is the publication date but not an edit date for updates
-
previous and next links or buttons for reading one post after another without going back to the home page every time.
nice to have
I'll update this post with more considerations, gradually, if needed.
