NoPressure

My role: Product concept to deployed system.

Challenge: Put up a fast, simple website right now without installing databases, PHP or anything else.

Solution: A simple, lightweight, themeable, markdown-based single executable content management system with no external database requirements.

Technologies: Axios / Rust.

NoPressure is a lightweight, Rust-first alternative to WordPress. It serves Markdown content through an Actix Web backend with a live admin UI—no PHP, database, or static site generation step required. Everything ships as a single binary for production while remaining easy to deploy locally.

  • Live editing: content changes through the admin UI are applied immediately.
  • Markdown + YAML front matter stored in the public content directory; the folder hierarchy powers navigation automatically.
  • Modern responsive theme included - easy to replace, update or extend.
  • Authentication via local users.yaml or OIDC.

Planned to be released as open source.
