Blogging Platform

Write well. Publish in a click.

Blog is a clean public site and a built-in admin panel in one: a rich editor, categories and tags, cover images, roles and your own branding, with nothing else to install or pay for.

  • Rich editor with a slash menu
  • Your own name, logo and colour
  • One small database, no extra services

The big picture.

A public blog for readers and a private admin panel for the people who write it, both in the same small app.

Readers

The public site

A fast, clean blog that puts the writing first.

  • Home page with a featured post and a grid of the latest
  • Individual post pages and category pages
  • Cover images, tags and reading details
Writers

The editor

Write in a rich editor instead of fighting with markup.

  • Type “/” for headings, lists, quotes and images
  • Select text for a quick formatting toolbar
  • Add links and pictures as you go
Team

The admin panel

Everything for running the blog behind a sign-in.

  • Dashboard with posts and view counts
  • Posts, categories and users in one place
  • Admin and Editor roles
Brand

Your identity

It looks like yours, not like a template.

  • Site name, logo, favicon and accent colour
  • Your own headline and intro on the home page
  • Footer text and social links

Everything a blog needs.

Enough to publish properly, without the weight of a full content system.

Editor

Rich writing

A modern editor with a slash menu and a floating toolbar.

  • Headings, lists, quotes and links
  • Images placed straight into the post
Publish

Drafts and publishing

Keep work private until it is ready, then publish it.

  • A short excerpt for the post card
Organise

Categories and tags

Help readers find more of what they like.

  • A page for every category
  • Tags on each post
Media

Cover images and uploads

Give every post a face and keep the pictures with the blog.

  • Cover image per post
  • Uploaded files stored with the app
Insight

View counts

See which posts people actually read.

  • Views counted on every post
  • Dashboard totals at a glance
Access

Roles and sign-in

Let the right people write, and only the right people.

  • Admin and Editor roles
  • First-run setup and password reset

How it works.

Three steps from nothing to a published blog.

1

Set it up

Create the first administrator on the setup page, then add your name, logo, colour and introduction.

2

Write and organise

Write posts in the editor, add a cover image, a category and tags, and invite editors.

3

Publish and watch

Publish when ready and follow the view counts from the dashboard.

See it in action.
