Ask HN: Is there a tumblr like self-hosting open source blogging platform?

7 pointssandaru12 comments

I recently tried tumblr and it provides a quite a nice user experience. However, I'm already using wordpress in my own domain, and no intention of moving my blog right now. I'm just wondering whether there are any open source blogging platforms like tumblr/posterous.

chyrp.net is the closest to tumblr in UI and functionality. I've tried this and other microblogging wordpress themes in the past and nothing self-hosted really emulates all the features of tumblr/posterous. I like how Tumblr takes care of he little things for the sake of usability and presentation. An example is how Tumblr caches and resizes all posted images to the size of your configured theme.

WordPress is one of the best out there...
