Written Whisper

A simple, fast, and secure personal blog. Pure PHP, SQLite, zero external dependencies.

Supports articles, short notes, and photos, with full Fediverse integration (Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey) via ActivityPub.


Requirements

  • PHP 8.0+, PDO SQLite extension
  • Apache with mod_rewrite or nginx

Quick install

# 1. Copy public/, src/, data/, lang/ to the server
# 2. Copy src/config.example.php -> src/config.php
#    (config.example.php has no personal values - safe to use as a starting point)
# 3. Open /setup.php in your browser - configure site title, URL, admin username/password

On shared hosting without the option to set the document root to public/, there's a .htaccess at the project root that automatically rewrites requests (see the comments inside it).

Detailed instructions in docs/en/guide.md (English) or docs/ro/guide.md (Romanian).
