Lookin' for a fast and easy way to get your blog up and running without messin' around with databases? Say hello to HTMLy, a straightforward, no-fuss PHP blogging platform that gets you blogging in no time. Perfect for those tinkering in their homelab or just lookin' for something simple and effective, HTMLy does the job and does it well. Straight outta the README, HTMLy keeps things simple and speedy. It's a databaseless platform, which means you don't need a fancy database setup to manage your content—just pure PHP goodness. It uses a slick algorithm to help you find or list content based on date, type, category, tag, or author. Even with a mountain of posts, HTMLy stays quick on its feet, handling ten thousand posts and hundreds of tags without skipping a beat. To get started, HTMLy needs PHP 7.2 or higher, along with a handful of PHP extensions like PHP-Mbstring, PHP-XML, PHP-INTL, PHP-GD, and PHP-ZIP for backups. Installation is straightforward too. Just download the latest version from GitHub, upload it to your server, and follow the easy installer instructions. Whether you’re dropping it in your root directory or stashing it in a subdirectory, HTMLy’s installer has got you covered. Even the cleanup is hassle-free—the installer tries to delete itself, but just in case, you might need to give it a little nudge manually. If you don't wanna mess with downloading the source code, HTMLy’s got an online install option. Download the online-installer.php, visit the URL, and let HTMLy handle the rest. Again, remember to delete the installer files once you're done to keep things neat and tidy. Configuring HTMLy is a breeze too. Make sure your cache and content directories have write permissions, and you're good to go. Admins can edit or delete all posts, and to access the admin panel, just tack on /login to your site’s URL. Wanna kick the tires a bit? HTMLy’s got you covered with resources like the homepage, documentation, themes, and a live demo. And if you’re feeling generous or wanna get involved, contributions and sponsorships are always welcome. Fork it, hack it, submit a pull request, and maybe even get your name up in lights as a contributor. HTMLy’s all about keeping things simple, fast, and efficient—perfect for anyone who wants to blog without the bloat. So if you’re running a homelab or just want a solid, no-nonsense blogging platform, give HTMLy a whirl. It's GPL licensed too, so it’s all about that open-source love. Happy blogging!
