WriteFreely
Open source publishing platform for blogs, written in Go.
WriteFreely is an open source platform for building a blog, written in Go. A release is downloaded as a binary and configured with writefreely config start, and the program runs as a standalone server. Its data is kept in SQLite, MySQL or MariaDB. Musing Studio LLC holds the copyright, and the Write.as team behind the project also offers the software as a managed service.
Worth knowing
Running the software means keeping a server process up. The managed service is run by the Write.as team, and the install guide describes a self-hosted instance as the other route.
