I love wearing blue t-shirts.

I'm Ivo Fokke, an entreprenerd based in Amsterdam with a passion for digital privacy. I'm fascinated by maps, logistics, and delivery networks, continuously contemplating on a new t-shirt brand, and occasionally sharing my thoughts on my Lavvus blog.

It's been a minute since I was consistently blogging, but every now and then, the itch to write something just hits. A while ago, I decided to dive back in and found myself searching for a blogging platform that checked all the boxes: easy to use, no self-hosting-hassle, no updates/upgrades, no logins required for readers, supports markdown, and can be seamlessly embedded into my existing HTML site.

After trying out a bunch of really cool apps, nothing really felt right. So, I figured, why not just create my own? I teamed up with a couple of my developer friends, revived the name Lavvus, and voilà! the first blog post was a fact.

I realise blogging is the grand-dad of social media and to be honest I don't know what that makes me; an online boomer? But, do you want to occasionally create/write more than just slapping a picture with a couple of hastags on Instagram? Lavvus is here for you, the occasional blogger. No pressure just pleasure.

Lavvus is intentionally simple, not in a limited way, but in a freeing one.

There are no complicated dashboards to manage, no growth hacks, no reader tracking, and no upgrade nags. Nothing stands between your thoughts and the page. It’s a tool, not a system. You can write once a year or every morning, it’s entirely up to you.

Writing should feel as natural as opening a notebook. A small number of thoughtful readers is more than enough in a world obsessed with measuring, monetizing, and turning everything into “content.”

Lavvus is built for quiet clarity, for writers who just want a calm, dependable space to write and, maybe, connect with someone who’s genuinely listening.

Lavvus is quick to set up and easy to use. You can write in markdown, publish instantly, and —if you want— embed your blog directly into your existing site. Readers don’t need accounts and are not tracked. No dark patterns, no distractions. Just your words, on your terms.
