Yep, my droplet was way too small...forgot to up it before going live. Anyways, the link to GitHub will be on the homepage soon. As I mentioned earlier, the org repo didn't even exist until late last night!

I think what you're referring to is called a "headless CMS", which is an interesting idea and something we can discuss as the project evolves. It may not be a good candidate for core, but a plugin that outputs the data in the

Not bait, just curious as to why you'd say that and didn't want to make any assumptions. Sure, I could have built Postleaf in Node, for example. It's all the rage these days. I even considered it, but then I considered my end

That's true, and it was a bad decision in hindsight. In my defense, I've submitted to HN before and never really saw results after dwelling for an hour over the title. I just typed something and hit submit, what luck, eh? Thanks f

Postleaf was definitely inspired in parts by Ghost, although no code was borrowed. I like Ghost, there are things I think they do really well.

I think a blogging platform should have that capability, but we've grown accustomed to "themes" being frameworks and plugins being apps. My ultimate goal is to design themes, not develop them, and to write plugins that ext

A lot of people would argue that vanilla WP is still somewhat bloated and not super nice to look at. These are subjective statements, sure, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It never hurts to have an alternative. Competition encourages

Definitely open to learning more about it. You're welcome to post a feature request on community.postleaf.org so we can discuss it in-depth :)

It doesn't require Apache, but the installer currently only supports Apache. Easy enough to run it on Nginx or another server.

Screwed up on the initial post and it wouldn't let me resubmit. Noob moment. Handlebars because PHP isn't great for webpage templates. There are many alternatives, but handlebars has implementations on many, many platforms. It mak

All the features you want, without the bloat, along with an immersive inline editing experience.

Fair enough, sorry to cross the gray line with the title!

Yes, it's an uphill battle. I'm not trying to chase WordPress, though — just provide a good alternative for those who want to get back to blogging. No categories, only tags. I think having both is redundant for the scope of this p

How so?

My droplet's getting slammed. Don't knock it until you try it. I'm not expecting much money from donations — it's there for those who ask for it, which is my experience for other open source projects I maintain. :)

Not inferring that others do! ;)

It's not that other platforms suck, it's just that so many pop up that don't address what I think people really want: something that's easy to use, nice to look at, and not bloated. A lot of newcomers are missing key fea
