Publify

Blogging and web publishing software built on Ruby on Rails, formerly known as Typo.

Publify is blogging and web publishing software built on Ruby on Rails. It was previously named Typo. The application runs as a Rails server: the project’s Heroku instructions start it with Puma through a Procfile, and a local install runs bundle install and then rails server. Content is kept in MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite, and the admin area sits behind a login. The homepage says the software is translated into several languages.

Worth knowing

The install steps in the README describe Rails 5.2 and older Ruby versions, so they predate the current release. The runtime recorded here comes from the release notes of the current major version instead.
