Bludit

Is Bludit actively maintained?

Development is ongoing. The repository recorded 211 commits over the same window, and the last three months alone account for 18 of them.

Activity is cooling: commits are down 84% against the previous quarter. One slow quarter is normal; two in a row is a signal.

The most recent tagged release, 3.22.0, is about 5 months old.

Note that Bludit depends on a third-party service to work fully. It is self-hosted, but not self-contained: if that external service changes its terms or disappears, your instance is affected.

Bludit ranks #35 of 48 tracked content management systems (cms) projects. Several better-maintained options exist in the same category — they are listed below.

What Bludit actually does

Bludit is a content management system designed for building websites and blogs quickly. It relies on flat-files in JSON format to store all posts and pages directly on the filesystem rather than using a traditional database engine.

Best fit: It is a suitable choice if you want a lightweight blogging platform that avoids the overhead of managing a database.

Worth knowing: The project shows signs of slowing development activity, which may impact long-term security updates and feature expansion.

Deployment notes

As a PHP application that does not use a traditional database, you typically only need a standard web server with PHP support and persistent storage for the file directory.
