OctBlog is almost the same with OctBlog except that it is powered by Flask and MongoDB rather than Django and SQL Databases.
And as my customary, I named it OctBlog as OctBlog was started in October, 2015
OctBlog offers every function in MayBlog, and aims to do it better, its features are as follow:
- multiple user
- roles: su, admin, editor, writer, reader
- posts, pages, tags, and categories
- markdown support
- admin interface
- change configurations by configuration file or environment variable
- multiple comment plugin
- RESTful API(not yet)
- Deploy with docker
