Rin is a serverless blog platform built on Cloudflare's infrastructure that combines Pages, Workers, D1, and R2 for hosting, compute, database, and storage.
The tool addresses the need to publish a blog without managing servers. It runs entirely on Cloudflare's edge network, eliminating infrastructure overhead. Content is managed through a web editor with real-time autosave, and articles can be marked private, unlisted, or assigned custom URLs. Images are uploaded directly to R2 object storage. The platform includes GitHub OAuth for authentication, a comment system with webhook notifications, and a blogroll feature that automatically checks link availability every twenty minutes.
Rin suits developers and writers who want a fully managed blogging experience without self-hosting. It works best for those already using or comfortable with Cloudflare's ecosystem. The tool requires only a domain pointed to Cloudflare and environment variables for API tokens and account IDs; deployment happens with a single command that provisions the database, storage bucket, and both backend and frontend services. The README does not compare the tool to alternative blog platforms.
The project maintains active commit activity and passing checks on its main branch. Automated deployment workflows are configured and functional. The codebase is written in TypeScript with end-to-end type safety shared between client and server through a dedicated API package, and the project includes a test suite for validation.
