About Mataroa
Mataroa is a minimalist blogging platform for writing and publishing posts in Markdown through a simple web interface. Blogs are hosted at username.mataroa.blog, or on a custom domain with the premium plan, and readers can follow posts via RSS or an email newsletter.
The platform deliberately omits themes, custom CSS, custom favicons, tags and categories. It states that it runs no ads and sets no cookies for analytics or tracking, and signup does not require an email address. Users can export their blog at any time, receive monthly auto-exports by email, import text or Markdown files, host images, and use an API. Posting by email and custom domains require the paid plan; the free tier includes most other features. The premium plan costs $9/year for all features, and 5% of revenue funds CO₂ removal. The project is also open source and can be self-hosted.
