Pika

A blogging and newsletter platform for writing and publishing posts.

Visit Pika

Pika is a blogging and newsletter platform built by Good Enough, designed to reduce the setup and maintenance work around publishing. It provides a web editor that mirrors how posts will appear to readers, with posts and pages presented in a consistent layout by default. The platform also handles hosting, security, performance, sitemaps, RSS feeds, and scraper blocking, so the focus stays on writing rather than site administration.

Core features include image upload, post search, post tagging, font and color theming, custom CSS, custom homepages, multi-language publishing, automatic RSS and sitemap generation, automatic AI blocking, content exports, the Micropub API, custom domains, custom code, and bring-your-own analytics. A built-in newsletter lets readers subscribe and receive posts by email, while a guestbook accepts short notes or drawings. Pika is available as a free plan with limits on posts, pages, guestbook entries, and newsletter subscribers, alongside a paid subscription that removes those limits and adds features such as removing Pika branding.
