Flow: A lightweight static site generator with built-in UI editor that creates microblog-style content feeds. Ideal for personal blogs

Blogging remains one of the most powerful practices for developing ideas, sharing knowledge, and connecting with others. Writing regularly has helped me clarify my thinking, document my learning, and engage with fascinating people around the world.
But while there are many blogging platforms available, I found they didn't quite fit my needs. WordPress feels too heavy and complex. Medium lacks ownership and customization. Static site generators require too much configuration. And social media platforms optimize for engagement rather than thoughtful content.
I wanted something different: A lightweight solution that makes publishing frictionless, focuses on readability, and encourages a steady stream of ideas - from quick thoughts to longer essays. A tool that helps maintain a digital garden of knowledge that grows over time.
That's why I built Flow - a static blogging engine with a built-in editor that gets out of your way and lets you focus on what matters: writing and sharing ideas. No complex dashboards, no endless configuration, no optimization for algorithms. Just clean, simple publishing.
