Hey, good to hear from you. Yes, we've just released our public beta and you can download it on our website if you join the beta program.
About Windows Live Writer, we do have a lot of beta users that migrate from Windows to Mac and are helping us building a very good product. WLW still have a lot of users but Microsoft decided to shut it down. :/
Hey you guys: you're tripping HN's voting ring detector like mad, and all the new accounts you're creating are just getting themselves and the rest of you penalized. Please don't do that! (And no sockpuppet comments either.)
Best of luck with the project!
Edit: oh, I'm afraid this post doesn't qualify to be a Show HN because the product isn't ready to be tried out. As the new guidelines say (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html), landing pages and beta signups definitely don't count. But you're welcome to do a Show HN later when the product is ready to be played with.
If I'm reading this wrong, let us know (hn@ycombinator.com) and we'll put "Show HN" back in the title.
First thing I saw "só testando mesmo" in the screen cap. Well, parece legal (looks cool), I'd like to test it out but, unfortunately, I've got the only mac (the original MBA) that doesn't allow upgrading to 10.8/9.
It was a different team and different time. The main reason is that Apple decided not to support Ruby/Cocoa anymore and at that time, the team wasn't ready to rebuild it. Now, I can guarantee we'll do everything possible to recover your trust. It would be awesome to have you onboard again.
It never stops loading and it crashes on me when I try to type anything. I have a self-signed certificate, maybe that is the cause? I'm running the latest version of Wordpress.
@grimborg can you please email us at support@getblogo.com (or submit a ticket via our website) with this issue? We can help you better at our support channel. Thanks!
Installed it. Very nice and clean layout. Well done folks!
Now for the feature requests :-)
- disqus vs wp spam prone comments integration?
- mobile version? I usually begin all my blog posts while walking. Currently use Notes on the iPhone and love how when I get back to my MBP its there synced.
Just these 2 would be enough for me to switch to using this as my tool of choice for blogging.
Just saw your post about Yerba Mate. I'll be in SF in September and I'll bring 1 pack of brazilian yerba mate for you. I drink everyday and it's delicious. You'll love it.
Glad to see how fast Blogo is growing. Rough team, as Amure is well known for any brazilian involved in startups. Cons that Linux/Android would be lovely welcome.
OMG! Blogging just got so much easier. I was dreaming about a tool that would allow me to startup a few different posts and came back to edit and publish them later.

Nice work, though
Great concept, though; it's not just an editor, but a publishing tool (CMS).
# Disqus vs wp spam prone comments integration?
Absolutely. This is an important feature we NEED to deliver.
# Writing posts while walking
Yeah, we are finishing a "secret integration" for this exactly situation in the next few weeks.... :)
