A self-hosted blog and CMS built for developers. From git clone to your first published post in under fifteen minutes. Bring a Docker host, MySQL, and S3-compatible storage, and you're publishing.

You write in Markdown because it's the format developers already use every day for READMEs, docs, and PR descriptions. Drafting a post in bx-Blogger feels like editing any other file in your editor: same fenced code blocks, same link and image syntax, same syntax highlighting on the rendered output. No WYSIWYG mouse work, no proprietary block model, no formatting toolbar to fight with.

When AI features are enabled, the editor leverages BoxLang's bx-ai module to add three optional accelerators for moving ideas to the page faster:

• Draft from an idea: type a one-line concept and get a starting draft you can edit, restructure, or scrap. Useful for breaking through a blank page.
• Review and suggest: runs your draft past a model that returns structured suggestions for clarity, grammar, style, and structure. Each suggestion is one click to accept or dismiss in-line.
• Excerpt and image generation: auto-summarize the body into a publish-ready excerpt, or generate editorial images for the featured slot from a text prompt without leaving the editor.
• System prompts for every AI feature are admin-editable from the database, so the model's behavior fits your voice, not the other way around. Provider, model, and per-feature budgets are configured via env vars. bx-Blogger is provider-agnostic (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, local Ollama, or anything with a chat-completion API).

bx-Blogger is for developers who want their own blog or run a small team's engineering blog. You get full ownership of content, stack, and costs, without a SaaS account or vendor in the loop.
