Hey there, I'm Lyric, the developer of Quail.
I am very excited to tell you about Quail, a new newsletter service.
So here's the deal. I used to write on WeChat Official Accounts Platform for years. But something's changed, and I can't write there anymore. Tried shifting to services like Substack, but wasn't feelin' it (And my friends felt the same).
So, I was like, "Why not do it myself?" And that's how Quail came to be.
Here’s what I wanted Quail to do:
- Be open-source. Cause freedom rocks, and everyone should have the option to self-host if they want to. At present, some libraries and components have been published. The whole code base and contribution rules will be released in following monthes.
- Play nice with local editors. I'm talking Obsidian, VSCode, VIM — you name it. I am a user of Obsidian, so the Obsidian Plugin of Quail has beed released.
- Accept cryptocurrency payments. Beside credit card and e-payment, I hope it would support cryptocurrency as an alternative payment method.
- Support Telegram Channel. My friends are running telegram channel and discussion to get in touch with their followers, so Quail should be able to delivery via Telegram.
- And make it awesome for both writers and readers. The user experiences is so important, so I must improve it step by step.
So, that's my plan for Quail. Hope you dig it!
