Blot turns a folder into a website.
I like the simplicity and durability of plain text files. For years I’ve used text files to store my notes. One day I realized that those text files had enough information — in their contents and metadata — to generate a website, without interfering with my writing process. So I made Blot.
So that Blot can operate in your interests rather than those of advertisers or investors. Your subscription pays for the servers which host your site. We do not and will not make money in any other way.

You can manage multiple sites from the same account.
There is a soft limit of a terabyte of bandwidth + storage combined per year, per site. If you exceed this, we will ask you to meet the cost of hosting your site, or we will help you set up Blot on your own server. Note that your site is not affected by Google Drive or Dropbox’s traffic limits because Blot hosts the contents of your folder on its own server.
Blot is available in English.
