## What it is
Obtvse is a clean and simple markdown blogging platform built on Ruby on Rails, inspired by Svbtle. It is deprecated in favor of its rewritten successor, natew/obtvse2.

## Use cases
- self-host a minimal markdown blog
- run a personal blog on Heroku
- publish posts with markdown and syntax highlighting
- host a simple blog with an admin dashboard
- migrate an old obtvse blog to obtvse2

## When to choose
- you want a Svbtle-style minimal markdown blog on Rails
- you need a lightweight self-hosted blogging platform with an admin panel

## When to avoid
- starting a new blog - use natew/obtvse2 or a maintained platform instead
- you need a non-Ruby stack or modern Rails versions
- you need active maintenance, security updates, or draft history features
