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
