Building a Multi-Blog Publishing Platform with FastAPI

Building a Multi-Blog Publishing Platform

I'm currently building a backend system using FastAPI that lets a user write one blog post and publish it across multiple platforms at once.

Why I Built This

Manually posting the same content to Dev.to, Hashnode, and other platforms takes a lot of repeated effort. This project solves that by giving one Create Blog page and one Publish page with checkboxes for each platform.

Tech Stack

  • FastAPI for the backend
  • SQLAlchemy + Alembic for database and migrations
  • PostgreSQL as the database
  • httpx for calling external platform APIs

How It Works

  1. User writes a blog on the Create Blog page
  2. User selects platforms on the Publish page (Dev.to, company sites, etc.)
  3. Backend loops through each selected platform and publishes automatically
  4. Each platform returns a success or failure status shown back to the user

What's Next

I'm now working on adding more platforms and moving credentials into a secure, per-user setup instead of hardcoded keys.

Thanks for reading — more updates soon! 🚀
