Hyperlight

Hyperlight is (yet another) PHP flat-file blog engine, which is light on code and easily extensible.

Features

• 23 kB installed size (disclaimer: with the smallest packaged theme (uberlight) and no markdown support. Full download size: 74 kB)
• Markdown parsing, thanks to Parsedown (optional, adds 37kb to installation)
• Theme support
• Pagination
• RSS Feed (/rss.xml) & Sitemap (/sitemap.xml)
• Post tags
• No database required

Requirements

• Apache with the mod_rewrite engine, or Nginx
• PHP (developed & tested on 8.3, but should work from 8.1 onwards)

Demo

A demo of the initial installation state can be found here: https://www.tombo.sh/releases/hyperlight-demo/

Documentation/Manual

Please read the documentation/set-up guide, as it contains:

• Super simple installation steps
• Configuring your installation
• Writing posts/pages
• How to write custom themes

No Admin Panel

As there's no admin panel, compared to other popular blogs/CMSes, to change your site config and write posts/pages you'll need to manually edit files. As a result, this means you will have to upload images manually and link to them yourself, too.
