About
Diary.by is a place for humans to share things with their friends, colleagues or even the world. Be that your blog, a journal, a diary or even your recipe book - anything is welcome, and it is up to you whether you want to share what you wrote with anyone.
Diary.by does not have any kind of social features, ads or tracking. It's purely a place for you to write, in peace, without any kind of noise. I do my best to learn, together with you, what makes the best, most enjoyable, most straightforward experience when writing things.

Markdown
diary.by uses Markdown for the entries. Instead of paraphrasing, here's a good Markdown guide you can follow. We also use EasyMDE if you like clicking on buttons instead.
Helper classes for images
I've made a couple of helper classes that you can use with images when editing your entries.
Classes are added using curly braces right after the image in Markdown, e.g.:
 {.half}.halfHalf width image..thirdThird width image..bigLet image be wider than the content..backgroundPuts the image in the background e.g. for a header..stretchStretch image to screen width..inlinePlace image inline with content..rightFloat image to the right..leftFloat image to the left..centerPut image in the center.
Discoverability
Would you like for your posts to appear in the latest posts? Would you like your blog to be reachable via the random function?
Make sure to check "Make your profile discoverable?" in the settings.

diary.by is in beta, so issues are expected (so is a slow rollout of features). When something unexpected happens, or you have an idea how to make this little project better for all of us, please get in touch.
