Lamb — Literally Another Micro Blog.

Barrier free super simple blogging, self-hosted.

- SQLite based portable single author blog.

- Friction

  free [Markdown](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax)

  entry, with drag and drop image support.

- Generates a discoverable Atom feed (/feed) from recently published blogs.

- Hashtags support, by just typing them `#ahyeah`.

- 404 fallback redirection to your old site, optionally.

- Friendly user theming, if you don't like my two shades of 2000s retro themes. ;)

- Pull external content into the blog by subscribing to feeds; ingested posts land as drafts by default.

# Philosophy

- Simple over complex.

- Opinionated defaults over settings.

- Assume success, communicate failure.
