DITBlogs - The Effortless Blogging Platform for Your Business Used AI
Tired of spinning up a whole new WordPress site or struggling with a clunky CMS just to add a blog to your company's website? DITBlogs is the solution.
DITBlogs is an API-first, multi-tenant blogging platform that provides the backend, a powerful editor, and the infrastructure you need. You simply connect it to your website via its API to create a seamless, beautifully integrated blog that matches your brand. It's built for teams, designed for performance, and focused on one thing: making your organization's content management a joy.
π― Who is it For?
DITBlogs is built for a modern workflow and is perfect for:
π’ Businesses & Startups who want to add a content marketing channel to their existing website without a complex technical overhaul.
βοΈ Content Teams that need a collaborative environment with different roles (Admins, Editors, Writers) to manage their content pipeline.
ποΈ Developers looking for a flexible, headless CMS that provides a clean API, robust authentication, and a solid foundation to build upon.
π Key Features
DITBlogs is packed with features designed for a professional content workflow:
π Headless Architecture: Use the secure API to fetch and display your posts on any frontend framework (Next.js, React, Vue, Svelte, etc.).
π’ Multi-Tenant Organizations: Each organization gets its own secure workspace. Users, posts, and analytics are all scoped to the organization.
π Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):
Org Admin: Manages members, settings, and has full content control.
Editor/Writer: Can create, edit, and publish any post within the organization.
β¨ Modern Block-Based Editor: A beautiful and intuitive writing experience powered by Tiptap, with support for rich text, images, code blocks, and more.
π§ Email Invitation System: Admins can easily invite new members to their organization via email, powered by Nodemailer.
π Scoped Analytics Dashboard: A beautiful, interactive dashboard (using Chart.js) that provides admins with key insights into their organization's content performance, including views, top posts, and top authors.
π Seamless User Onboarding: A multi-step, state-aware onboarding flow that intelligently guides new users based on their role, pending invitations, or application status.
π Secure by Design: All API endpoints are protected and context-aware, ensuring a user from one organization can never access the data of another.

What I Built
Today, I shipped the first working version of DITBlogs, a multi-tenant, API-first blogging platform designed for businesses and content teams.
Here's what was implemented:
π§ Core Architecture
Multi-tenant org model (org-based user scoping, content isolation)
Robust authentication system (JWT + RBAC roles: Admin, Editor, Writer)
RESTful API routes for posts, users, orgs (scoped and secure)
Seamless onboarding: state-aware signup flow based on invite status, roles
π§βπΌ Organization Management
Admin-only email invitation system (Nodemailer integration)
Role-based permissions on UI + API
Org creation and switching with scoped sessions
βοΈ Blog Editor
Integrated Tiptap editor with support for:
Headings, bullet lists, images, code blocks, etc.
Auto-save draft support (local/session for now)
Clean, distraction-free writing interface
π Analytics Dashboard
Initial version with Chart.js showing:
Post views
Top-performing posts
Author-wise contribution
π‘ Why It Matters
Setting up a blog for your startup shouldnβt take 5 hours of fiddling with WordPress or headless CMS setup.
DITBlogs removes the friction and gives startups a clean, scalable, dev-friendly way to add a blog β with proper collaboration and analytics built in.
I wanted to build something that:
Doesnβt assume you want a full website β just the blog.
Doesnβt lock you into one frontend or stack.
Doesnβt require a CMS admin panel to be useful.
Just plug in the API, drop in the UI components (or build your own), and youβre ready to blog.
π οΈ Stack Used
Backend: Node.js, Express, Prisma, PostgreSQL
Auth: JWT, RBAC, hashed invites
Frontend: Next.js (App Router), Tiptap, TailwindCSS
Analytics: Chart.js (frontend), custom API (backend)
Infra: Railway (temp), will move to dedicated VPS
Dev Tools: Hackatime, Postman, GitHub
π
Next Up
π Public Org Blog API (for client consumption)
πΌοΈ OG Image generation per post (auto + custom)
π¬ Comments support (starting with static, maybe dynamic later)
π Scheduled publishing & post version history
β¨ Onboarding animation & skeleton states
π§ Key Learnings
Building a clean multi-tenant system early saves a ton of headache later.
Email invites + org scoping sounds simple⦠until you start layering RBAC and API permissions.
Tiptap is amazing, but has a steep learning curve with custom extensions β totally worth it though.
