About Typoza

I have published on the web since 2012. In 2015 I founded YubiGeek, a French site about tech and video games, and over the years I opened a few personal blogs next to it. Each of them ran on WordPress.

YubiGeek still does, and WordPress serves it well. The trouble was everything else. Each time I wanted to write about something new, a series on one topic or notes on a side project, it started the same way: a domain, a host, a fresh install, a theme, a few plugins. By the end of the evening the site was ready, and the article was still unwritten.

Then came the upkeep: a round of updates for each blog, a plugin that broke after one of them, security alerts for sites I had not opened in months. Some of those blogs went quiet, and the maintenance had more to do with it than a lack of ideas.

So I started building the tool I wanted to use. You open a page and write, and the hosting, the certificates, the feeds and the search engines are already taken care of. In October 2024, I moved my own blogs onto it.

Typoza is that tool, open to everyone. I still write its code in Marseille, my blogs run on it, and when you reply to its welcome email, I am the one who reads your answer.
