Hyvor Blogs
Hyvor Blogs is an open-source platform for creating and managing blogs, with hosted and self-hosted options. Blogs can use a custom domain, a sub-directory, or a headless frontend; custom domains receive free TLS certificates. Users can select a theme or build one with HTML and CSS. Built-in tools include scheduling, SEO metadata, social cards, generated sitemaps and robots.txt, and link analysis. Teams can edit posts in real time with live cursors and suggestion mode, and content can be translated, including RTL layouts. APIs and webhooks support developer workflows. Every plan includes Hyvor Talk for comments and Hyvor Post for newsletters, with monthly allowances varying by plan. The built-in AI agent can generate content, translate posts, and suggest improvements. Hyvor says users own and can export their content in one click, and that blogs have no ads or third-party trackers. Paid Personal pricing is €5 a month, billed annually at €50/year; a 14-day trial includes all features. The free Open-Source plan is self-hosted under AGPLv3; self-hosting requires Docker, PostgreSQL, and an OIDC provider.
