PostOwl - open source blog app with instant on-page editing

Hi everyone, I've just launched PostOwl: https://www.postowl.com/

PostOwl is an open-source web application that let’s you create your own website for:

  • blogging (public posts)
  • sharing letters (share secret links with friends and notify them by email)
  • keeping a journal or diary (private posts)

All your writing in one place!

A key feature of PostOwl is ‘in-place’ editing that makes it super easy and fast to update your site.

The technology behind is pretty unique and allows us to do things that other personal website can't do: SvelteKit and SQLite make it super fast to edit your content and very portable as all your data is in a single SQLite file.

The first launch is a 'technical preview' as it needs some technical knowledge to install it. Next up I'll be releasing a hosted version. If you're interested to get on the waitlist of keep up-to-date with PostOwl, there's an email newsletter: https://www.postowl.com/newsletter/

Here's a bit more on how PostOwl got built on the product page: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/postowl/

Let me know what you think - happy to answer any questions!
