Why it’s listed

Pages weigh about 2.7 kB with 'No trackers, ads, or scripts' (1). The founder's manifesto promises no shutdown, no sale, no VC money and no ads (2).

The trade-off

It's a one-person project, and the code is source-available under the Bear Blog License, which bars running it as a rival hosted service, so it falls outside the OSI definition of open source (3).

Price

Free to start; the paid upgrade price was not verified.
