Time to look behind the scenes to see what else has been improving with Pika this summer: pika.pika.page/posts/behind...

A long-desired Pika feature has landed: scheduling posts. Yay! We're also happy to say that it works great with email newsletters! pika.pika.page/posts/schedu...

A newsletter in Pika is the perfect way to share your personal blog writing via email. Now the feature has moved to open beta. It's available to all Pika Pros! pika.pika.page/posts/newsle...

Pika just added translations for 20 languages. Choose your language and the interface of your published Pika site will now match the language in which you are writing! Read more about it: pika.pika.page/posts/site-t...

After a short downtime, Pika's database servers are fired up and ready to go1 Thank you for your understanding.

Tonight between 10-11pm CDT Pika will have a short downtime to upgrade our database servers. We expect the downtime to be less than 5 minutes.

Saturday is a great day for you to read Manuel Moreale's post, "Why this matters." If it resonates with you, and you're not blogging yet, give it a try at pika.page or any other blogging service. We want to hear your voice! manuelmoreale.com/why-this-mat...

Pika now offers the ability to set your site language, allowing your non-English blog to be better displayed by browsers and feed readers alike. pika.pika.page/posts/set-yo...

We've gotten lots of feedback and we've been hard at work improving Pika's new newsletter feature (in beta). Check it out! pika.pika.page/posts/newsle...

Pika's newsletter feature is here in beta and it's…very simple and direct! Let us know if you'd like to give it a try. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. pika.pika.page/posts/newsle...

🚨 New Pika embed alert! 🚨 SoundCloud and Mixcloud embeds are now available in Pika. Get sharing! pika.pika.page/posts/soundc...

Pika is having some problems today. We are actively looking into it and will keep you all updated…

Over the past month there have been some modest updates to Pika that we haven't spoken about. Go behind the curtain: pika.pika.page/posts/behind...

While Pika background images are forever (seriously, LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY! cartography.pika.page), the PIKACITIES coupon code (15% off a year of Pika Pro) expires today. Get on board!!

You want to run a spiffy guestbook straight out of the 90s like I do on kaspth.com? I'm using Pika, and there's a coupon for the curious here:

Of course annie's blog makes stellar use of background images anniemueller.com. Want to get back to blogging like it's 1999? This is the last week for coupon code PIKACITIES, which gets you 15% off your first year of Pika Pro. Start right now for free! pika.page

It's made with @goodenough.us's Pika that I first saw @timriley.info use. I love it, it's great!

I've been working on sprucing up my website kaspth.com Go ahead and sign my guestbook 😄

The Pika sites are getting a bit out there with their background images now and we love it! Thank you for this lovely post, @trystancarter! cartography.pika.page/posts/tiled-... Join us at Pika and get 15% off your first year of Pika Pro with code PIKACITIES (expires June 13).

My favorite blog hosting platform just added support for classic 90s-style background images, and I think I'm falling in love. super cool stuff @goodenough.us pika.pika.page

Ever been bit that issue where you Cc a teammate to an important email thread, but then someone eventually forgets to "Reply All" and you don't realize, and then that teammate wasn't actually following along? That's not a problem for teams using Jelly! letsjelly.com/changelog/25

Some Pika updates happen without us talking about them. Here's a rundown of the most recent set of small changes: pika.pika.page/posts/behind...

New in Jelly: Save time and typing with Saved Replies! Yes, they are exactly what they sound like. letsjelly.com/changelog/24

Updated in Jelly: The "I got this" button is now the "Who's got this?" button. Perfect for team workflows where one person is on triage duty, making sure everyone has what they need to do their best work. letsjelly.com/changelog/23

Happy Monday! How about a little update to Pika in the form of linkable headings within your blog posts? Yeah, let's do it! pika.pika.page/posts/linkab...

If your job has you looking at raw email headers (hello both of you!), Barry threw together a tool that could be of help: Prettier Email Headers. Give it a look! emailheaders.dev (And if you're a Hacker News reader, we'd appreciate your upvote: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4384...)

"All of the team can see each talk proposal conversation, and can respond directly or privately discuss the talk right in that thread. And, most importantly, anyone can quickly get up to speed ... because the whole history of the conversation is right there." goodenough.us/blog/2025-04...

Small business success starts with something deceptively simple: a human conversation. Not automation. Not a CRM. Not a chatbot. Just a real person, replying with care. ✍️ New post: goodenough.us/blog/2025-04...

In my prior blogging life I had a reply by email link at the bottom of my blog posts. That link led to many lovely conversations with all sorts of people. At long last "Reply by email" is back on my blog, and it can be on yours, too, if you blog with Pika. pika.pika.page/posts/reply-... ~Barry

🤣 youtu.be/2z7kVH9xePM?... Want a website? We got you. pika.page

@lazyatom.com is Good Enough goodenough.us/blog/2025-04...

Hot on the heels of Spotify embed, we've now added Apple Music embed to the Pika mix. Share the music!

One of our software vendors sent an email about their latest merger. It included the phrase "accelerating our innovations [and] intensifying our customer success orientation." Have we been doing it wrong? Should Good Enough be intensifying our customer success orientation?

We are resuming our Meet the Team series on the Good Enough blog. Say hello to Barry!

What's this? An update to Letterbird?! That's right. Now you can pre-fill your Letterbird contact form embed with optional attributes: data-name, data-email, data-subject, and data-body Learn more at

Lately we've been inspired by the whole "Jon Batiste Hears [Song] for the First Time" oeuvre. How about you? www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0hS... (And don't forget to subscribe to tv.goodenough.us to catch more of our favorite videos!)

Barry's back from vacation, and you know what that means…Pika stuff! It's time to kick out the jams this weekend with automatic Spotify embedding. Go forth! pika.pika.page/posts/spotif...

Out Now: Episode 534 of The Ruby On Rails podcast, where you can listen to Good Enough's own James and Cade talk about building rails apps with Elise Shaffer. It was a lovely chat — thank you for having us on! www.therubyonrailspodcast.com/534 #ruby #programming

Massive recommend Pika by @goodenough.us if you're looking to start a blog real quick. I decided to make a v. silly basketball blog a few days ago and Pika made it a breeze. Now clapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclap.com is live when, really, it probably shouldn't be.

Now available in Jelly for everyone: Easy email setup with your Google account If you haven't checked out our take on simple email collaboration yet, now's a great time, especially if your team is currently using Gmail! 🍓

Blogging about code just got a whole lot more fun with Pika–now with syntax highlighting!

Over the past month, Pika has made some improvements you may not have heard about. Have a great weekend!
