Realmac Software (makers of Ember, Typed for Mac, Clear, and RapidWeaver) have launched a crowdfunding campaign for Typed.com, a blogging platform they’ve been building for the past few months. The highlights: it’ll support Markdown, multiple users and blogs, custom domains, and responsive designs out of the box.

As they explain the campaign page:

Most blogging software is clunky, with bloated writing tools that get in the way. Typed is different. Typed.com uses Markdown syntax for writing content, combined with a beautifully focused interface. It’s a joy to use.

We know a thing or two about building apps that have great user experiences: Typed.com is built by the same team that made Clear, the award winning to-do app for iOS and Mac.

This is an interesting new venture for Realmac and I hope it succeeds. I welcome innovation in blogging services with this kind of features and sustainable business model. You can back the project here and watch the video below.
