This blog runs on **Yet-Another-Blog developed in Python (Flask) and SQLite. This open-source project is designed to provide a simple, secure, and customizable experience.

I developed Yet-Another-Blog to meet my own needs: a simple, flexible, and efficient solution without unnecessary features. My goal was to create a blog engine that allows me to publish easily, manage multiple languages, and maintain full control over the content, while avoiding the complexity and heaviness of traditional CMS platforms. This project reflects my vision of a minimalist yet complete tool, designed for performance and customization.
