One of the bigger problems was, I think, one of scale. I was thinking of something to replace http://wordpress.com ... something where everyone could host his own blog in very low cost infrastructure. But then again... why not try to replace all those self-hosted wordpress instances out there? So, here's the webapp plugin! .. media:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex2nXRbEmoI It's very early stages, no support for pages, only supports markdown, no configuration changes, and you can't even really delete things. But hey, you *can* post, which is 95% of the usage this will get. **UPDATE:** if you are running Nikola from github master, you can install this using the plugins repo: http://plugins.getnikola.com/#webapp and it supports a lot more than on the video above.
