Lamb — Literally Another Micro Blog.

Barrier free super simple blogging, self-hosted.

- Drag or paste an image and Lamb converts it to WebP automatically, no upload step or asset library to manage.
- Tag posts by typing `#hashtag` inline; no taxonomy UI, the tags just appear.
- Full-text search included, no plugin needed and nothing to rebuild.
- Runs on SQLite, so your entire blog is one file – easy to back up, easy to move.
- Drafts and scheduled posts built in, with one-click trash and restore.
- A [Micropub](https://indieweb.org/Micropub) endpoint lets you post from iA Writer, Ulysses, or any IndieWeb-compatible app.
- One-click export of every post as plain Markdown files plus their images, so your writing is never locked in.
- Import from WordPress, Known, or a previous Lamb export, straight into the same post pipeline.

# Getting started

[Read the documentation](https://svandragt.github.io/lamb) to get started. It is published from the `release`
branch, so it always matches the latest released version.

To preview the in-development docs on `main` locally, run `make docs` and open http://localhost:4000/lamb/.

# Philosophy

- Simple over complex.
- Opinionated defaults over settings.
- Assume success, communicate failure.
