Custom domains are live for Plus

I've been wanting to ship this one for a while. Starting today, Inkwell Plus subscribers can point their own domain at their Inkwell profile. So instead of inkwell.social/stanton, you get blog.stantonmelvin.com. Same writing. Same feed. Same fediverse identity. Just yours.

I set mine up this morning, and it took a few minutes. You add a CNAME record, drop the domain into your settings, and that's it. Your entries live at your domain. Your RSS feed lives at your domain. If you ever leave Inkwell, you own that address and can point it somewhere else. That's the whole point.

This is the kind of feature that feels small until you realize what it means: your writing isn't hosted on Inkwell, it just runs on Inkwell. There is a difference.

Custom domains are available now in Settings for all Plus subscribers. If you're not on Plus yet and this is what tips you over, I'll take it.
