After months of development, I'm excited to announce the first stable release of Bloggrify - a static blog generator that prioritizes simplicity without compromising on features.

What is Bloggrify?

Bloggrify is a static blog generator built on top of Nuxt Content that provides everything you need for a modern blog, right out of the box:

  • πŸ“ Write in Markdown with full support for MDC syntax
  • πŸ” Built-in full-text search
  • πŸ’¬ Comments system integration
  • πŸ“¨ Newsletter integration
  • πŸ“Š Analytics integration
  • 🎨 Themeable design
  • πŸš€ SEO optimized
  • πŸ“‘ RSS feed built-in

Why Another Blog Generator?

While there are many excellent static site generators available, I found myself repeatedly implementing the same features for different blogs. Bloggrify emerged from this experience - it's not just a framework, but a complete solution that brings common blog features together in a cohesive way. The goal is simple: you should be able to focus on writing, not configuring.

Core Features in Detail

Comments Integration

Out of the box, Bloggrify includes integration with Hyvor Talk for managing comments. Being a static blog generator, we carefully chose Hyvor Talk as our default comments provider for its:

  • Quick setup (just add your site ID)
  • Clean, modern interface
  • Privacy-focused approach
  • Spam protection
  • Multiple authentication options
  • Full theming support

No complex configuration needed - Bloggrify handles the integration automatically while keeping your blog fully static. Planning to add support for other comment providers in future releases.

Search that Works Offline

The search is built using local indexing, providing instant results without external services. It works even offline!

Newsletter & Feed Integration πŸ“‘ πŸ“¨

Bloggrify comes with pre-configured integrations for keeping your readers updated:

  • RSS Feed: Built-in RSS feed support, optimized for RSSFeedPulse for easy newsletter automation
  • MailerLite: Using RSS feed support

Bloggrify recommends the RSS to Email approach, converting your RSS feed into newsletters - write once, publish everywhere.

Analytics Integration πŸ“Š

Bloggrify supports privacy-focused analytics out of the box with multiple provider options:

  • Blogtally: Simple blog-focused analytics with reader engagement metrics
  • Pirsch: GDPR-compliant website statistics without compromising user privacy
  • Fathom: Ethical alternative to Google Analytics with real-time data

Theming System

Want to customize the look? Bloggrify comes with a powerful theming system. Use one of the existing themes or create your own using Vue components.
