A qubit (/ˈkjuːbɪt/) or quantum bit is a basic unit of quantum information.
Qubit is a minimalist blogging and micro-blogging platform that can be easily self-hosted.
Modern social platforms shape how we write and share. But sometimes you just want a quiet corner of the internet to document your thoughts and learnings.
Inspired by the simplicity of "Today I Learned" blogs and the clean aesthetics of platforms like WriteFreely and Article.app, Qubit is built for developers and tinkerers who want to focus on writing without the pressure of metrics, algorithms, or engagement statistics.
Write short notes about what you're building. Share useful resources you've discovered. Document your learning journey.
No follower counts, no likes, no retweets — just thoughts and code in clean, monospaced type.
Note
This project was built in two days over the holiday break. Although I built it deployment in mind, you probably shouldn't deploy it publicly. There may be bugs or security issues.
