FlatPress
A lightweight, easy-to-set-up flat-file blogging engine.
FlatPress is a PHP‑based blogging engine that stores all content in plain files, eliminating the need for a database. The software can be installed by downloading, unzipping, and running a simple web‑based installer, making initial setup and subsequent backups straightforward. It follows standard web conventions and supports multiple languages, providing a comment system with built‑in spam protection.
The platform is extensible through a plugin architecture that includes widget support, and its appearance can be customized with themes powered by the Smarty template engine. Because it is self‑hostable, users retain full control over their data and hosting environment.
FlatPress is released under the GNU GPL‑2.0 license, is maintained as a stable, open‑source project with a public support forum, wiki, and regular releases. It is suitable for individuals or small sites that want a lightweight, easy‑to‑manage blog without the overhead of a database.
