Hello, dear Product Hunt community! π
Our team proudly presents Blogs β the new member of the Unicorn Platform ecosystem.
It took 7 months of hard work for the whole team and now it is ready for the public.
Fun fact: initially I thought it will take 2 months to ship blogs. Ah, planning was never my strong part!
The editorThe text editor we use is heavily inspired by Notion and Medium. All the basic stuff is there: bold, italic, links, code, quotes, h2, h3, h4, embeds, checklists, images (we autogenerate alts based on the filename if you did not specify an alt explicitly π), and hotkeys.
Enough words. Just look:
You have full control over meta tags, social share options, headings, image alts, sitemap.xml, robots.txt. Your blog post is brilliantly displayed on both mobile and desktop devices and protected with an auto-refreshing TLS 1.2 SSL certificate.
Even though we reached 90/100 and 99/100 score on the Google PageSpeed Insights, we constantly work on the loading speed metric (planned updates for 2021: CDN for API requests, images loseless compression, serving images as WebP).
Test it yourself if you do not trust GIFs from the Internet: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Funicornplatform.com%2Fblog%2F13-free-illustrations-sites%2F&tab=desktop
We take loading speed seriously because "Speed is now a landing page factor for Google Search and Ads" π€
The fusionThe neatest thing is that your blog is seamlessly integrated with your landing page.
One source of control, consonant design, one invoice for 2 tools π
And most importantly, you blog will be placed in your root domain.
"Starting a blog? I almost always recommend yoursite.com/blog over blog.yoursite.com." - Rand Fishkin, Moz's co-founder (source).
However, if you want to use another tool for your landing page, you still can easily connect a Unicorn Platform blog to your current ecosystem by attaching a subdomain as a blog root URL.
CustomizationUnicorn Platform is a simple tool. We added all the essential settings. The noise is kept aside.
You can customize your blog URL and domain, SEO meta tags, fonts, colors, navigation and footer. That is it.
βHow many things are there which I do not want.β β Socrates
However, if you need something special (e.g., embed an Airtable or a TypeForm), you can plug custom HTML right inside a blog post.
This is not the final form of our blogging module. We carefully collect, sort and store each user feedback and implement it sooner or later.
We are looking for ReactJS ninjas to deliver more features. If you want to make difference β apply! Open the JS console for the details.
Here are some wildlife examples of blogs running on Unicorn Platform:
