What WhiteWind is
WhiteWind is a free web blogging service that uses Markdown and the atproto network. Authors write posts with Markdown syntax, then publish them by saving; articles are delivered to federated atproto services. Blog pages can display comments and likes collected from those services. The project lists event leaflets, technical information, book reviews, and short notes as possible uses. Blog data is kept on the author’s personal data server, and WhiteWind says it cannot modify, delete, or lose those articles. Users can host a blog on their own domain through third-party tools. A Bluesky account is required, but separate WhiteWind registration is not. The privacy policy says the service does not collect personal information, while Google Analytics gathers anonymous cookie data. WhiteWind has no blog analytics feature, and its public repository uses the AGPL-3.0 license.
