Our origin story

Pullnote is a super-simple headless CMS built as an internal tool born of the frustration trying to find a simple, free content management system that handles page editing in markdown and uses straightforward REST calls to supply content simply and quickly.

The quest for a simple, free markdown editor

Scratching around at the end of 2023 and failing to find a simple markdown based (and free) alternative to Builder.io, Wordpress etc for running blog pages on my Svelte sites, I ended up building one.

I actually love it, and it has worked so well I thought I'd open it up to the community.

SvelteKit's wildcard [...slug\] routing coupled with a REST API that maps the URL structure means editable content can be added to any site in about 10 minutes.

Sticking to Rich / Svelte's simplicity oriented approach, this was my original criteria:

• No install, npm or otherwise (just a REST API)
• Markdown editor (I do not need WYSIWYG in my life anymore sorry)
• AI auto-fill for titles, content, images

There is also an example git repo if you prefer code but it is literally just a +layout.server.js, +layout.svelte and an empty [...slug] folder with some styling.
