Hi HN — I built Postastiq because I wanted a self hosted blogging platform that felt closer to writing than managing a system.

Postastiq is written in Go, stores data locally using SQLite, and runs as a single binary or container with no external services required. It supports posts, pages, media, RSS, and optional access controls.

This is intentionally minimal and still early. I’m sharing it to get feedback from people who’ve built or run blogs before — especially around what feels unnecessary or what you’d expect even in a lightweight setup.

Happy to answer questions and hear critiques.
