This looks cool. Use case for whistleblower situations, to post info anonymously online with a link to share? Like archive.today for text (and could also be posted there). Not spam, real stuff.
The https://notepin.co/ home page would benefit enormously from links to some example blogs hosted on the platform.
I found some by running a Google search for site:notepin.co but I imagine most people won't think to do that - and it's asking a lot to require users to create an account before they can see what the end product will look like.
Honestly for me the biggest burden is being asked to pick a password! Now I have to open up my password manager, generate a new password, write it down... it's a non-zero amount of commitment.
Desperately needs an "About" page which gives some indication of who's behind this, what the plans for it are re. funding, and why it was created. Basically, you need to give people some sense that this will stay around and continue to operate under terms people are willing to live with before they will spend a lot of time adding content.
Also, if this takes off, I hope you are ready for the scammers and spammers who will want to take advantage of it.
I agree with others, the homepage _looks_ awesome, but it could use at least a tiny bit more info, links to existing blogs, something. Might just be me, but I didn't assume the get started link would take me to an editor, and I wasn't ready to go through a signup workflow. Might help to make that a little more obvious ("go to the editor").
Editor also looks pleasant. Reminds me quite a bit of Telegraph (https://telegra.ph/)
It needs info. It needs LOTS of info.
"a tiny bit more info" is not helpful when there is no info to begin with.
"minimalist blogging platform" tells me ONLY that there will be a blog produced at the end of my endeavors. The site itself doesn't even say minimalist. It says "extremely simple". Is it a static blog? Is it a dynamic blog? Does it use Markdown? Does it use a WYSYWYG editor? Does it even HAVE an editor? Does it have themes? Is it even themable? Can i get my data out of it? can I have my own domain? If I don't want to use my domain, what are my domain options. Is any part of it configurable? Is it open source? Is it minimalist, or is it simple, or is it both?
No-one should sign up for blogging platform soley because someone claimed, without any supporting evidence, that it's "extremely simple"

Example: https://colors.notepin.co
text-align: justify; would however make the pages look nice though.
Edit: Fixed! :)
For your next blog post, you might consider adding Jabberwocky! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knAvKI33LOM
Because, "...products are for people who don't have a presentation!"

If you wanna see something stranger, check out https://straw.page
It's a website builder I made designed for weird sites, with marquee and wordart! :)
I made a page to test it out - this reminds me of a way cooler expages. love the wysiwyg builder https://aliqot.straw.page/
Edit: And amazing, glad you like StrawPage! :)
I hope it stays that way :+1:
Edit:
Small point: needs favicon, just added to home screen and it got the browser icon...
And thanks for pointing that out - fixing!
There's some JS involved to create the size of the SVG based on the window size!

And agreed, will add a Demo blog shortly + Update the button text!
that is... maybe overly polite.
