Publify

Publify is a Ruby on Rails–based multi‑user blogging and web publishing platform (originally known as Typo). It provides a classic blog engine, theming and plugin APIs for extending site behavior and presentation. (github.com)

Key Features

• Multi‑user blogging engine with posts, pages and short messages (micro‑posts). (github.com)
• Plugin API and widgets system for extensibility and custom widgets. (publify.github.io)
• Custom themes and included theme examples (repository contains a bootstrap theme). (github.com)
• Text filters supporting Markdown/Textile/SmartyPants and @mention/#hashtag linking. (publify.github.io)
• Advanced SEO capabilities and multilingual translations for many languages. (publify.github.io)

Use Cases

• Small teams or individuals who want a traditional multi‑user blog or magazine site with theme and plugin support. (github.com)
• Developers who need a Rails‑native publishing engine to customize or extend via plugins and themes. (github.com)
• Organizations that prefer an open‑source, self‑hosted publishing stack with classic blog features and SEO options. (publify.github.io)

Limitations and Considerations

• The public demo is ephemeral and is reset regularly (demo resets hourly), so data there is temporary and not suitable for long‑term testing. (publify.github.io)

Publify is a mature, Rails‑native publishing tool focused on traditional blogging workflows, theming and plugin extensibility. Its codebase and docs are hosted in the project repository and it is distributed under an open‑source license. (github.com)
