Idno (also known as Known) is an open-source social publishing platform written in PHP that lets individuals and groups share stories and media on a site they control. It supports IndieWeb technologies like Webmention and Microformats 2, plus ActivityPub federation, with a plugin and theme system and an internal/external API.
Use cases
- self-host a personal social publishing site I own
- run a group blog with social networking features
- join the IndieWeb with webmention and microformats support
- federate posts to ActivityPub followers like Mastodon
- syndicate posts to third-party social networks
- build a customizable CMS on a PHP framework with plugins and themes
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, IndieWeb-friendly publishing/social platform
- you need ActivityPub federation and Webmention support out of the box
- you want a PHP-based CMS that is easy to extend with plugins and themes
When to avoid
- you need a large-scale social network with millions of users
- you prefer a static site generator or headless CMS workflow
- you cannot run a PHP web server with MySQL/MongoDB
