Why FeatherFeed?

"In 2025, LLMs can generate entire websites in seconds, but getting dynamic content INTO those sites? Still a nightmare. WordPress is bloated, headless CMSs require APIs and builds, and static generators need CI/CD pipelines. We just want to push content to simple HTML sites."

FeatherFeed is our answer. It's not trying to be everything to everyone. It's focused on one thing: making it stupidly simple to add a blog to any website.
