Show HN: I built a simple blogging platform for humans who write

from the show-hn dept.

I've been blogging for 15+ years. I moved from Blogger to WordPress to Ghost and eventually being dissatisfied with all of them (primarily because of bloat), I built a platform for myself and opened it for public.

After building it, I searched a bit more and found some good ones (write as, bear blog, etc) but it was quite late.

All in all, Lykhari is a simple blogging platform for writers, essayists, journalists, personal bloggers, and above all for humans. Businesses are not welcome. Targeting businesses brings money but also bloat. A platform should exist which is simple and kept simple.

What makes me a business? What if I want to write but my motive is eventually it becomes a business. I see you offer subscriptions as a feature, for example.

A team maybe. I am still refining my target audience but yeah. Indies are welcome. Blogs with personal name or individual running. Business is when the blog is a business front instead of a blog run by a person.

Hi, what makes your SEO "world class"?

Out of the box it does have support for a good deal of SEO things. Tags, speed, basics. Which are a hassle to get right with WordPress for example.
