Haven is a private blog application built with Ruby on Rails. Write what you want, create accounts for people you want to share with, keep up with each other using built-in RSS.

Try out a live demo at https://havenweb.org/demo.html

The following are some motivating philosophies:

  • Open-source. MIT License
  • Privacy-first. This is for sharing with friends and family, not commercial endevors. If you want a blog for your company, you probably want to use WordPress or Ghost instead.
  • Easy to use. Built-in web interface for managing users, customizing the blog, and writing/editing posts with markdown and live-preview.
  • Low-bandwidth friendly. Images get downscaled to reduce page load times. No javascript frameworks. No ads or trackers.
  • Customizable. Add custom CSS or fonts.
  • No spam. There is no self-signup for users so there is no place for unauthorized users to impact your life.
  • Media support for images, videos, and audio.
  • Private RSS feeds for your friends to follow you.
  • Build-in RSS reader to follow your favorite blogs.
