In plain words
Logdown is a blogging platform designed for developers that supports GitHub Flavored Markdown, LaTeX, and Octopress syntax. It features in-editor preview, drag-and-drop image uploading from local files or social media services like Flickr and Instagram, and allows users to import blogs from WordPress or Octopress. The platform also enables easy export of content if users choose to leave.

That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
