Hi guys, as you might have noticed I haven’t blogged much over the past two months. Not because nothing happened, I just didn't get to it.

Looking back, this year was a great year for Lavvus. A big part of that is easy to name: we launched. From that moment on, the work shifted from preparing something in theory to growing something real.

Launching — and then learning

The launch wasn’t a finish line. It was the start. Once people began using Lavvus, things became clear quickly: what was useful, what needed work, and what mattered less than expected. Over the year, Lavvus grew into a product I genuinely enjoy using myself.

We shipped features shaped directly by how people wanted to work:
• people using Lavvus to share writing, music, podcasts, and personal thoughts
• link-in-bio pages to connect content and identity simply
• co-writing, allowing people to work together on posts
• the ability to post via our API, supporting custom workflows and integrations
• steady improvements to blog design and social sharing, reducing friction

None of these were flashy launches. Together, they made Lavvus more complete, flexible, and dependable.

What’s coming next

One feature we’re releasing soon — and one we’ve been asked for repeatedly — is email updates.
Is it a newsletter for your blog? Yes — kind of.

This feature gives writers a simple, built-in way to keep their readers connected, without turning their blog into a marketing machine. This has been a frequently requested feature, and one we believe adds real value for the people using Lavvus.

As with everything else, it’s being built to be straightforward, optional, and respectful of readers.

Looking ahead

Going into the new year, I feel good about where Lavvus stands.

The focus stays the same:
• build deliberately
• stay close to real usage
• deepen what exists before adding more

I’ll try to write more again, but yeah, only when there’s something worth saying.

Thanks to everyone who launched their work on Lavvus this year, shared feedback, or pushed us to build better. Launching was a big step. Growing into a product we really like has been even better.

Cheers,

Ivo
