The source code for James Long's personal blog (jlongster.com), a simple Node.js server that indexes blog posts from the filesystem. It previously used React, Redux, and React Router for server-side rendering, but the current version has dropped React in favor of a simpler setup.
Use cases
- run a simple personal blog without a database
- serve blog posts directly from the filesystem
- study how a minimal blog server is structured
- compare a React SSR blog implementation with a plain server version
- self-host a lightweight writing site
When to choose
- you want a minimal, dependency-light blog server
- you want to study or fork a real personal blog codebase
- you prefer serving posts straight from the filesystem without a CMS
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade or actively maintained blogging platform
- you want React-based server-side rendering (that lives on the react-blog branch)
- you expect documentation, support, or new features - the author explicitly says use at your own risk
