I liked what you have built here. The UI looks slick. One question - how do you use AI in SEO suggestions? Just checking but couldn't find anything related to SEO.

Hi @gorkemcetin, thank you for checking it out. We have an SEO suggestion tool that checks your content while you write and run 15 different tests and suggests what can be optimized.
We are actively working on bringing more tests to the tool and making it more robust which will help to track, optimize and fine-tune the final output based on SEO.
I hope it helps. Thanks
@icodefuture Got it - so there is no AI in this. Suggesting that you remove that part as some of your customers may be turned off about it, just saying.
@gorkemcetin sure, I was also thinking about it. We do have AI in that part of the code but it's still not deployed in the current version of the tool. I also believe it's better to remove the AI word until it's available to the users.
why should someone else use it over Ghost or WordPress? I didn't see anything unique, sorry :(
@yucelfaruksahan yes you are right. From the consumer's perspective, BlogHunch should be compared to Ghost or WordPress.
WordPress is the whale of the ocean of Blogging Platforms. It's the first choice for most people due to its immense popularity.
However what most of us don't like about WordPress is vulnerable plugins, it gets really slow with even necessary plugins.
Next comes Ghost...
Ghost is a great platform, we inspire by them. Their newsletter features, subscriptions, and everything are just too good to have for any online creator.
There are still a couple of things that people might not like about it - spending $100/m extra to just have the blog installed on a subdirectory, limited integrations, etc.
Unfortunately, we don't have much in comparison to Ghost except for the Series, SEO suggestions, etc. However, we have a lot of cool features in our pipeline that will give our users the benefits that no other platform can/will provide.
Ghost is there since 2014 and it took them this many years to have an inbuilt comment system. So for a product like BlogHunch started in 2022 can still do wonders to catch up ;)
This has the potential for being a big hit for small businesses and entrepreneurs! I'm giving it a try and the onboarding ux was super smooth so far. I appreciate it when a service/tool doesn't hold your hand through every small detail and let's you discover the basics on your own. Great job, my congrats to the team!
😊 Wow, that sounds amazing! I'm excited to try it out. Is there a way to auto-send a newsletter when a new post is published? That would be really helpful! 🙌
@paolo_degiglio thanks. Currently, we have the newsletter feature under development and would be available to use by the 1st week of Feb. It will let you create and manage newsletters, auto-send newsletters when a post is published (exactly the one you want), track the newsletter conversion, and a few more 🤩
Congrats on the launch, really robust free plan and beautiful landing btw ⚡️✏️
Hey Product Hunt 👋
BlogHunch Co-Founder and CEO here!
7 months ago, we launched BlogHunch with a simple idea: blogging should be enjoyable. Outdated tech stack, slow-loading websites, hiring developers to build a blog, and the pain of managing multiple plugins or tools to optimize SEO, performance set us off on this journey. There had to be a better way to build and manage blogs.
7 months later, I feel confident in saying: we found the way.
My co-founder Ritu and I started BlogHunch because we found that every company today does not have a developer or tech resources available to manage blogs. Every organization is thinking about the creation and distribution of content but they end up spending more time managing technicalities instead of focusing on content.
Our product focuses on providing a clear and crisp way to build and make your blog live in just 30 seconds 🚀
Not just quick onboarding we also made it super easy to manage and a complete no-code solution that anyone without tech expertise can use.
This is Shopify for Bloggers.
🚀 Superfast blogs powered with NodeJS.
🖥️ Free SSL with support for custom domains.
🎨 Customize according to your branding needs with different themes and settings.
🎯 Engage with your audience using inbuilt comments and subscriptions.
🧘♀️ Clean and clutter-free editor that makes it really easy to write content.
📚 Combine multiple posts together into a series.
👨💻 Super flexbile with support for API. Feel free to use it the way you want (SSR, SSG, SPA, etc).
👀 Coming soon: Convert your content into business with Stripe integration to generate revenue.
🎙 PS — What do you think we should build next? A lot of our favorite things about BlogHunch came from our community. Would love to keep that going — drop us your ideas in the comments! Thank you again for all your support.
Love,
Subham
Just registered. Looks nice. What is the difference between a page and a blog post ? Paid plan says "5 series" , is that 5 domains / sites ?. Any option to back up my blog ?
@jay_janarthanan1 thank you for registering. There is not much difference between a page and a post. The difference varies based on usage. If you want to create a specific resource like deals, a limited-time offer, team details, etc then a page will come in handy.
Regarding the series, it's different. Series are similar to categories however we are adding different monetization options for series by the end of Feb. Which will let convert your audience into paid customers.
If in case you need support for multiple domains, we have support for that as well. You can create and manage multiple publications (blogs) under one account. Currently, the only limitation is you can have only one free blog at a time.
We have plans to cover such cases in our upcoming agency plan that will be best suited for agencies who will need to build and manage publications at scale.
Backup with Google Drive will be available by this month's end. Till then please feel free to use the export feature - it can export in CSV, JSON, and MD.
This launch helped us a lot to gather some awesome feedback and based on that we have added the following things since last Friday.
1. Removed watermark from all themes footer. (No more branding issues)
2. Import data from WordPress (Migrating data is now super easy)
3. RSS feed added
4. Bunch of bug fixes
Please let me know what feature you would like us to add next to BlogHunch.
Finally, someone is giving tough competition to wp, but its a very long way to go. keep up the good work 👍
Can you please share a link showcasing your themes, either as screenshots, live demos, or live blogs by actual users?
Hi, @steve_soler here is a demo to showcase the "blogo" theme - https://codven.mybloghunch.com/
@icodefuture just wanted to point out that tags are not showing properly on that demo blog. Have a look here: https://markuphero.com/share/VmK...
What video links can we paste into the blog besides YouTube? Also can we upload audio to play on the posts?
Thanks
Hi @steve_soler, YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, Berrycast, and Dailymotion are currently supported. In terms of audio, we don't support audio uploads yet but that's one of the most important features we have in our roadmap which would be available soon. Till then you can embed audio from Spotify, Soundcloud, etc.
Can we present the blog on a sub-domain of our custom domain?
blog.mydomain.co
Also, can we present the blog on a subdirectory of our custom domain?
mydomain.co/blog
@steve_soler yes you can present it on a sub-domain of a custom domain currently and soon you will be able to present it in a subdirectory as well. Currently, we are working on an NGINX integration that will make it really easy to set it up on a subdirectory.
@collin_longmire currently it's limited to subdomains however it will be possible to use subfolders really really soon. We are actively working on that part.
Hi - Seems like a cool idea. I am a Head of Content for a tech company. What differentiates this platform from Ghost? Can you self-host it?
Hi, @brandon_gubitosa thanks for checking it out. As of now you cant self-host it as it's a closed-source application.
However, if data is the primary concern then we make sure that the customer has access to all his data and it can be exported in 3 different formats (JSON, CSV, MD) anytime.
The difference between Ghost and BlogHunch currently is a bit limited. Like we have Series, SEO suggestions, multi-publication support under one account, etc.
We have a lot of cool features in our pipeline that would give our users much more benefits than other platforms out there.
I am confident by the next release I would have a lot of differences to share.
The pricing plans look great as compared to what others are offering. I would definitely give it a try. Do you support migrating from WordPress? Also, is any way to use APIs?
@ritu_soni1 Yes Priya, we definitely have support to migrate from WordPress, medium ghost, or any other platform. Do let me know if you need any kind of assistance.
