Slowing Down on Pure Blog
I'm really proud of what Pure Blog has become, and honestly a little overwhelmed by the interest it's received since launch. The feedback and enthusiasm from the community has been genuinely lovely, so thank you.
That said, since announcing it a couple of months ago, I've spent pretty much every spare minute working on it, and most of that time building things I didn't personally need. I said a few weeks ago that Pure Blog was feature complete...ish. The "ish" turned out to be a mistake, because it left the door open and I smashed right though it. 🙃
So as of today, with the release of version 2.2.0, I'm dropping the asterisk. Pure Blog is feature complete. It does everything I want it to do, so it's time to actually use it.
I've worked through and closed the all open issues and PRs. From here, if you request a feature, thank you, but it's unlikely to be implemented. But there are some things I will continue to accept:
- Bug reports — if something's broken, I want to know.
- Translation improvements — some non-English translations are AI-generated and could use native speaker review.
- New translations — if you want to add a new language, submit a PR using
/lang/en.phpas a reference.
If there's a feature you want to implement, Pure Blog is open source, so fork it and build what you need - it's a tonne of fun!
As for me, I'm going to get back to actually writing on this lovely little platform I've built. That was the whole point, after all. 😊
