Project easyPublisher

easyPublisher is a lightweight publishing tool, ideal for authors who want to focus entirely on their content – without any technical overhead. Its file-based structure allows you to start working with Markdown files right away and completely avoids complex setups or databases.

The system was developed to radically simplify the publishing process: write your content, drop it into the content folder – done. easyPublisher is especially designed for authors without deep knowledge of web technologies who are looking for a simple way to publish their work.

Project Goal:

The goal was to create a publishing system that works entirely without configuration and makes it easy for both technical and non-technical users to get started. Thanks to the file-based architecture, everything remains transparent and portable.

Publish content without technical overhead

easyPublisher is fully built with PHP and only requires a web server with write permissions. The templates are clearly structured and easy to adapt – a modern, low-maintenance alternative to database-based CMS platforms.

  • Zero Configuration: No setup required – drop your Markdown files into the directory and publish instantly.
  • Clean URLs & Internal Linking: Automatically generates readable URLs and supports wiki-style links between articles.
  • Full Control Over Templates: HTML templates, snippets, and CSS can be customized freely.
  • No Database Needed: Content is stored as plain text files.
  • Plugin Extensibility: easyPublisher can be flexibly extended with plugins if needed.
