Pagecord is Nice. It Deserves Love and Support.
Hi Pagecord!
You may have noticed I didn't post yesterday. That was a compromise I had to make due to time constraints. I wrote a little more about that decision on my Bear blog today, but after opening up Pagecord, I feel this sense of preciousness. A fierce need to protect and hold onto Pagecord.
Despite my announcements to focus on Pika, I still believe in Pagecord and want to stick around and to continue seeing its development.
I saw an email update that the Pagecord creator, Olly, is messing around with some theme options. That is very exciting news and developments indeed. The mint theme is very pleasing to the eye, and a few theme options for the blog are always fun to freshen up the style every now and then.
As I found my way to Olly's personal blog and started reading through the posts, I found a random surprise! A post reflecting on Pagecord's current state, that references my own post of experimenting with Pagecord.
It will never not strike me as exciting, odd, and surprising to find yourself referenced and linked without even knowing. This makes me wonder: how many times has this happened?
Only a few months ago, I randomly found a Thread post of mine, screenshotted and put on front and center of a sales page: MakersFlow. (Just checked now, the page has been updated but the screenshot of my positive review is still there, just a bit further down the page.)
These instances of serendipity brings me joy. Thanks Olly, and thanks Paul (of MakersFlow).
This reinforces my desire to keep up with Pagecord. And considering how affordable the price is for a one year buy-in, it's making me rethink my decisions here.
Decisions, decisions, decisions...
How can it be that I fall in love with multiple blogging platforms? Aren't we supposed to have our one true epic love and commit to them with undying loyalty for life?
Perhaps it's not so easy and simple as that... and truly, nuance is both complex and sexy to me. Life is often a mixed bag of oopsies and "welp, good enough"s!
Speaking of which, I should follow up on some emails and actually reach out to Olly to share my appreciation of Pagecord directly.
I still like the idea of using Pagecord as a daily write-up, more informal / study notes about what I'm working on behind the scenes while leaving other platforms for more attempts of 'polished' writings.
Without rhyme or reason, I really want Pagecorders to be a thing. Pagecord is nice. It deserves love and support. I don't ever see myself using the blog through email feature, but there's still so much to like about Pagecord.
Maybe I'm deluded, but that's what love is sometimes, right? Not to twist the knife in deeper, but I remember an old co-worker who would claim Chris Evans was her husband. She would not listen when others mentioned him publicly dating another person who decidedly wasn't her.
I can have my fantasies, too, okay? It might not be for anyone listed on "Sexiest Man Alive", but for indie projects that have their heart and efforts in the right places. And the indie devs behind them deserve their flowers, too.
Thanks for being here.
Sincerely,
Nadine ♥
