About

LixBlogs (also called Elixpo Blogs) is an open-source publishing platform designed for creators, developers, and teams. It gives you a beautiful writing experience with powerful tools built right in — a rich block editor, an AI writing assistant, real-time collaboration, and organizations — all deployed on Cloudflare's edge and hosted at blogs.elixpo.com.

It supports personal publishing, organization publications, and collaborative editing. Availability, account requirements, and operated-service limits are documented by the hosted service rather than promised by this README.

This is a monorepo: alongside the platform it ships @elixpo/lixeditor (the editor on npm) and the LixEditor VS Code extension. It is part of the wider Elixpo ecosystem.

Elixpo relationship

LixBlogs is an active core service of the Elixpo open-source project foundry. Its platform, editor package, publishing CLI, and extension are developed in this repository. The canonical directory of current Projects, Research, and Services lives at elixpo.com; this README does not copy that directory because lifecycle information changes independently.
