Zenblog

Zenblog is an open source headless CMS built for blogging and nothing else. It removes the setup work and the pricing of general purpose headless products when all you want is somewhere to write posts and a way to read them back into your own site.

The project runs on Supabase for database, auth, storage and functions, with Next.js on both the front and back end, Tailwind for styling and TypeScript throughout. The author's stated goal was to spin up a blog and connect to it in minutes, the way you connect to a hosted Postgres database.

The feature list stays close to what a small publishing setup needs.

• Multiple blogs: one account can host as many blogs as you want, with collaboration on each.
• Content API: an API and an SDK fetch posts and images into your website with little wiring.
• Image hosting: uploads are stored with the posts rather than in a separate service.
• Feeds and webhooks: RSS output and webhooks let other systems react when content changes.
• Themes and domains: blogs can carry a custom theme and run on a domain you own.
• Analytics: reader figures are reported from the same dashboard.

Running it locally calls for Node 20 or later, Docker and the Supabase CLI, and self-hosting is listed among the features. The README describes Zenblog as under heavy development and not yet open to outside contributions, so it reads as early work rather than a settled platform.
