Publify is a self-hosted, multi-user web publishing platform built on Ruby on Rails, formerly known as Typo and the oldest active Rails open source project. It combines a full blogging engine with short messages syndicated to Twitter, custom themes, a widget/plugin API, text filters, and SEO features following IndieWeb principles.

Use cases

  • self-host a multi-user blog
  • publish on my own site and syndicate to twitter
  • start a blog with markdown support and custom themes
  • run an indieweb publishing platform on rails
  • host a blog with seo features and widgets
  • replace wordpress with a ruby on rails blog engine

When to choose

  • you want a mature, self-hosted Rails blogging engine with multi-user support
  • you value IndieWeb principles like POSSE and Twitter syndication
  • you need customizable themes, widgets, and a plugin API
  • you want built-in SEO and multilingual support

When to avoid

  • you need a modern stack or latest Rails version (it targets Rails 5.2 and Ruby 2.5-2.7)
  • you want a static site generator instead of a dynamic server app
  • you need a general-purpose CMS beyond blogging and short messages
  • you require heavy community activity or frequent releases
