MVP Content? Minimal implementation
We can start out like this
Full Creative Control
When you self-host, you're not constrained by platform limitations. You can create unique, branded experiences that truly represent your vision.
Interactive Animations
Create engaging visual experiences that capture attention
Rich Media Integration
Embed videos, interactive demos, and custom components seamlessly into your content.
Unlike Medium or Substack, you can create fully custom interactive experiences.
Beautiful Code Blocks
Present technical content with syntax highlighting and custom styling that matches your brand.
// Just create ONE file in src/data/articles/
import { ArticleModule } from "@/types/article";
export const metadata = {
slug: "my-article",
title: "My Article Title",
// ... other fields
};
export function Content() {
return <div>Your content here!</div>;
}
export default { metadata, Content } as ArticleModule;Pro Tip: With self-hosting, you can add copy buttons, line highlighting, and even live code execution.
