About this category

Traditional blog engines mean installing a database, configuring a runtime and patching it forever. This source keeps posts as static files, so the site is just HTML, CSS and a little JavaScript — with no backend there is no injection surface and no login to brute force. Once deployed it needs no maintenance, static hosting costs essentially nothing, and a backup is simply a copy of the directory.

Frequently asked questions

How do I manage posts without a database?

Each post is its own file. Adding one means creating the file and registering a line in the index, or running the included script to regenerate the index.

How does search work?

A lightweight index is generated at build time and matched in the browser, so no backend API is needed and hundreds of posts still return instantly.

Is it secure?

With no backend or database there is no SQL injection or weak admin password to exploit, and static hosts provide HTTPS automatically.
