An indie blog & investigation desk

A quiet place to write, and to investigate.

Margin is a dead-simple blogging platform that doubles as a research desk. Give it a topic and it reads the web for you — gathering arguments, counter-arguments, and data — then drafts a sourced report into your composer so you can edit, publish, and own the work.

01Sign in with Google.

No new account. No password. You're inside in two clicks.

02Three honest themes.

Minimal for thinking out loud. Magazine for long-form. Photo Grid for image journals.

03Drafts, tags, archives, RSS.

Drafts that stay quiet. Tag pages, archive pages, and a real RSS feed at /handle/rss.xml.

04Inline multimedia.

Drop in images, audio, video, or PDFs. Files are stored on a CDN and inserted at your cursor.

05Visibility you control.

Public, unlisted, or private — per post. Unlisted posts have permalinks but stay out of indexes and RSS.

06Research mode.

Give a topic. Margin searches multiple framings, ingests sources, cross-references claims, and drafts a journalistic report with numbered citations directly into the composer.
