BirdPress is a Markdown-based blogging platform that can be used as a standalone Flutter app or embedded inside of another Flutter app.

It's pretty bare-bones right now.

Example

Features

• Write blog posts in Markdown.
• Create blog themes in Flutter.
• Main page for a blog

URls

BirdPress uses named routes in Flutter. The following pages have been added:

• / The index of the site. The route can be prefixed by setting BirdPressSettings.blogPrefix, i.e. blogPrefix = "blog/".
• /posts The list of posts or an individual post. Can be overwritten with BirdPressSettings.postsPath. If blogPrefix is specified then this is $blogPrefix/$postsPath

Getting started

BirdPress is currently under development, all APIs are subject to change before the 1.0.0 release. The documentation will be kept up-to-date to my best-effort.

Installation:

• install the birdpress plugin.
• update assets/birdpress/index.md if desired. If you don't want to have a header, or want it to be implemented in Flutter, override the default BirdPressSettings and set indexFile to "".
• write blogposts in assets/birdpress/posts/
• Check the example birdpress site in birdpress/lib/main.dart to see how to use BirdPress in an existing flutter app

Usage

BirdPress is a Flutter widget, run it as a standalone Flutter app like so:

main() {
  runApp(BirdPress());
}

Additional information
