**Gridea Pro** is a complete rewrite of [Gridea](https://github.com/getgridea/gridea) (10k+ Stars), rebuilt from scratch with Go + Wails + Vue 3. The original Gridea has been unmaintained for about four years. Gridea Pro carries forward its core vision: **making it effortless for anyone to own their own blog.**
Special thanks to the original author [@EryouHao](https://github.com/EryouHao) for creating [Gridea](https://github.com/getgridea/gridea) and helping countless people start their blogs.

## Why Gridea Pro?
Hugo, Hexo, and Jekyll are great tools — but they're built for developers. You need to install Node.js, learn the CLI, and write your own deployment scripts. Gridea Pro takes a different path: **download and go, everything lives in a GUI, with AI capabilities built right in.**
| | Gridea Pro | Hugo | Hexo |
|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| Installation | Desktop app | CLI | CLI + Node.js |
| Learning curve | Zero — no terminal needed | Requires CLI experience | Requires Node.js + CLI |
| Writing environment | Built-in Monaco editor | Choose your own editor | Choose your own editor |
| Theme switching | Visual UI in-app | Edit config files | Edit config files |
| One-click deploy | ✅ GUI | ❌ Manual / CI | ❌ Manual / CI |
| AI integration | ✅ MCP + built-in model | ❌ | ❌ |
| Memory usage | ~30–50 MB | — | — |
| Template engines | Jinja2 / EJS / Go | Go Templates | EJS / Nunjucks |
> Hugo and Hexo are powerful tools for developers. Gridea Pro is designed for people who just want to write.
