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
#hashtaginline; 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 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.
Read the documentation 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/.

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