Roast My Idea: Blog Platform as a Service

Background:
I frequently develop products, and I've noticed that I consistently require blog features each time. I've come to realize that 80% of these features are always the same; what sets them apart is simply how they're presented to users. Additionally, core features like blog management systems remain identical across different projects.

The Idea:
Blogstraps is a blog platform as a service. Blogstraps offers a comprehensive blog management system including post management, author management, categorization, and more. With Blogstraps, integrating these features into your existing website is as simple as writing just a few lines of code.

Here are the mock-up pictures to make it easier to understand:

Blog Management System:
Posts Management System

Using notion like text editor to write post:
Create Post

You can also manage the SEO:
Manage SEO

Integrate to Existing Website just several line of code (In the future I also want to develop the React components):
Embed Blog

Anyway, if you are interested in my project, please visit https://blogstraps.com and subscribe to let me know that this idea is valid.

    Very interesting idea Herry.

    How is this different from a CMS system like Ghost?

    1. 1

      The CMS part is similar, but ghost cannot be accesed via API or embedded to my existing website.

      For example i have developed coderbased.com. It's not possible to have ghost in https://coderbased.com/blog (with the similar UI)

      Using subdomain still possible for ghost but the SEO got impacted since subdomain perceived like a different domain

      1. 1

        Got it. Thanks for the clarification.
