The Problem
Most lightweight blogging tools lack a full social layer — likes, comments, bookmarks, and sharing — while heavier CMS platforms are overkill for individual writers.
The Solution
Penster delivers a complete publishing experience with rich Markdown authoring, image uploads, and full social interactions in a fast, responsive interface.
My Role
Sole full-stack developer — built the Markdown editor, the engagement system (likes/comments/bookmarks), image handling with Multer + Cloudinary, and the REST API.
