Quire Ink Interface Preview

A self-hosted blog in one container: a real editor over Markdown with tables, footnotes and mathematics, scheduled publishing, newsletters over your own SMTP, comments with a built-in spam gate, cookie-free analytics, full-text search and a book reading mode. Importers bring a WordPress, Ghost, Substack or Medium blog across with its redirects and images. There is no database service to run and nothing is fetched from a third party: two SQLite files and an uploads folder are the whole of it. After the first start, open the container logs for the one-time link that claims the blog and creates your account.
