fancy error page now.

EVERBLOG home Uh oh, we hit an error.

You can try refreshing the page, but if that doesn't work you should contact Chris. [link redacted]

I'm sorry for the error. I shouldn't have submitted it to hacker news right before leaving for a meeting. Lesson learned, it's fixed now.

The reason, in case anyone is interested: the footer shows the most recent posts. Someone created some posts that contained data that I wasn't expecting. That caused the footer to raise an error. I removed the recent posts from the footer (from my phone, before the meeting) and the site returned to normal.

I'm really sorry for the error, but I learned something from it, so thank you!

PS, existing blogs weren't affected, it was only the homepage.

Site works for me. Looks very cool too! How does this differ from pistachio, which launched here as well, IIRC?
never saw pistachio. link?

I just signed up to test. It looks awesome. Sorta itches the easymode+lazymode button for me wrt to blogging.

Wonder how many people (like me) love the idea of simple documents as the backbone of a blog?

I'd love to take a look at pistachio, I didn't see it either.

I'm glad you like the idea, that's exactly why I created it. You can use the Evernote webclipper to clip articles and the site uses embedly to add rich content automatically. I'll have a screencast on how to use it to create a link blog in the coming days.

Why wasn't this turned into a third party Octopress plugin?
