Neon Notes CMS

Neon Notes is a small PHP blog CMS with a Bludit-style content layout:

bl-content/pages/<slug>/index.txt

Posts and static pages are Markdown .txt files with front matter. Comments are stored in SQLite, site configuration and generated indexes are JSON, and visit stats are CSV for easy Excel import.

Requirements

PHP 8.1 or newer
PDO SQLite enabled
Apache with mod_rewrite for .htaccess pretty URLs, or the PHP built-in server for local testing

Local Server

php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 router.php

CLI

php cli/blog.php help
php cli/blog.php list --all
php cli/blog.php create "New Post" --status=published --category=Notes --tags=php,markdown
php cli/blog.php update hello-neon --title="Hello Neon"
php cli/blog.php delete old-slug

Comments

Comments are moderated by default and protected by captcha plus a honeypot field.

php cli/blog.php comments:list --status=pending
php cli/blog.php comments:approve 1
php cli/blog.php comments:spam 2
php cli/blog.php comments:delete 3

Stats

Visits are appended to storage/stats/visits.csv with a header row suitable for spreadsheet import.

Apache

The included .htaccess enables pretty URLs and blocks direct access to app code, configuration, SQLite, CSV, JSON databases, and Markdown content files.
