BloggFast: AI Boilerplate for Instant Blog Ownership
BloggFast delivers a production-ready Next.js 16 app with AI article generation (15s outputs), Sanity CMS, Neon auth/DB, multi-LLM support—deploy blogs/news sites in hours, own everything without subscriptions.
AI Generation Cuts Publishing Time from Hours to Minutes
Use BloggFast's admin dashboard to generate full articles in 15 seconds: input a prompt like "Alibaba claims viral happy horse AI model," select length, category, author, and auto-generate cover images/summaries. Supports Claude 4.6 Sonnet (best for writing), Flux 2 Pro (best images), GPT-5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, DeepSeek V3, MiniMax M2.7. Outputs include references, FAQs via custom "skills" (e.g., auto-add FAQ sections), editable rich content (images/videos/code blocks). Files upload to Cloudflare R2 for low-cost, high-performance storage synced to Neon DB. Publish directly or refine—replaces 1-hour manual work while preserving editing control.
Custom AI skills let you define behaviors (e.g., "add FAQ to every article") and chain multiple. Track history in /admin/generation-history. Config via /admin/settings: toggle models, aspect ratios. Server actions in /src/actions handle CRUD securely; /api/generate endpoint orchestrates LLM calls with Zod-validated prompts from /lib/ai/prompts.ts.
Production Stack Enables Buy-Configure-Ship Workflow
Next.js 16 App Router + React 19 Server Components power public pages (/article/slug, /category/slug, search, trending) and protected admin (/admin/articles, /generate). Prisma ORM on Neon serverless Postgres (17 models, 6 enums) ensures type-safe queries; seed.ts populates demo data. Sanity IO headless CMS handles real-time post/author/category schemas in /sanity/schemas.
Neon Auth provides passwordless/social login, role-based access (Editor/Admin via DB users table). Resend sends transactional emails/newsletters; Cloudflare edges assets. shadcn/ui + Tailwind v4 for components; middleware.ts protects routes. Setup: download ZIP or GitHub repo (lifetime updates every 1-3 days), set .env vars (t3-oss/env-nextjs validates), npm run dev—localhost:3000 ready with sample data.
Project structure separates marketing/admin/app/auth/studio routes; unified queries in /lib/unified-queries.ts fetch across DB/CMS. Dynamic sitemap/robots, RSS via /api/rss. Deploy to Vercel for AI SDK integration. Fork repo for unlimited personal/commercial projects; TypeScript throughout catches bugs early.
Ownership Beats Platform Lock-In for Long-Term Control
Skip Medium/Substack/Webflow limits (UI rigidity, subs, pricing volatility)—BloggFast gives full codebase ownership for custom UI/UX, no vendor waitlists. Evolve with AI advances: add features mirroring Sanity/Buffer/Medium. Momentum-killer setup (auth/DB/CMS/AI/email) pre-wired; focus on content/brand.
Target: devs/creators launching blogs/news/newsletters. Basic React/Next.js suffices for tweaks; docs at blogg.fast/docs guide. Monetize via SaaS/content biz. Trade-off: initial buy-in vs. recurring fees. Demo: demo.blogg.fast shows live generation/publishing.
