It's open-source (hello, MIT License!), privacy-first, and easier to use than your grandma's recipe book. No fancy JavaScript frameworks, no pesky ads, and definitely no trackers. It's just you, your thoughts, and the people you want to share them with. But wait, there's more! Haven comes packed with features that'll make your blogging life a breeze.

Haven's got you covered with support for images, videos, and audio. Plus, it's rocking private RSS feeds, so your friends can keep up with your musings without the whole world tuning in. And if you're into following other blogs, Haven's got a built-in RSS reader that'll keep you in the loop. Setting up Haven is easier than falling off a log. Whether you're into AWS, Raspberry Pi, Heroku, or good ol' Docker, there's a deployment option with your name on it. And if you're feeling fancy, there's even a paid hosting option for those who want the VIP treatment. So, if you're looking for a blogging platform that's as private as your diary but as social as a backyard BBQ, Haven's got you covered. It's time to ditch those public platforms and carve out your own little corner of the internet. Trust me, once you go Haven, you'll never look back!
