HelloBlog.io Is Live: A 22-Language, Ad-Free Tech Blog Built on Open Source

HelloBlog.io is now live: a multilingual technology blog focused on the WordPress ecosystem and modern open-source web development. The key idea is straightforward-take the kind of technical content that usually appears first in English (news, deep dives, best practices, practical tutorials) and make it available to European developer communities in their own languages, in a way that still feels local and context-aware.

The site is currently running in beta, which means the team is actively iterating on the UI, performance, and editorial workflows over the next few weeks. Expect frequent refinements as the platform settles into its long-term shape.

Why HelloBlog.io exists (and what it’s not)

A huge portion of WordPress and open-source web development knowledge is published in English first. That’s where the newest developer updates, analysis, and battle-tested patterns tend to show up. The problem is obvious if you work in (or alongside) EU dev communities: not everyone wants to consume advanced technical material in English, and even strong readers often miss nuance when the topic gets dense.

HelloBlog.io was started to close that gap-so that developers and readers across the European Union can access the most relevant topics in a familiar language, with the right framing and local context.

Just as importantly, HelloBlog.io is explicitly positioned as not a content farm. The goal is to publish material that’s actually useful in day-to-day work: practical tutorials, deeper technical analysis, and timely WordPress-world updates-without the typical distractions that come with ad-driven publishing.

22 languages, one developer-minded publishing approach

HelloBlog.io is available in 22 languages, designed to reach as many developers as possible in their native language:

• Hungarian, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian
• Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Croatian, Slovenian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian
• Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Greek

Each language edition is intended to receive native content. The point isn’t “push button translation”-it’s articles tailored to the language and the community, so the most important themes from the English-speaking tech world land clearly, with proper context, and aligned to what EU readers and developers actually need.

Editorial focus: WordPress first, open source always

WordPress is the core theme-covering the broader ecosystem, including the Gutenberg block editor and WooCommerce. The project also leans into modern WordPress tooling that many teams now use in production, such as Bedrock, Sage, and Acorn.

But the scope is intentionally broader than “just WordPress.” HelloBlog.io also publishes (and plans to publish more) across the wider web development stack, including:

• PHP and Laravel development
• The JavaScript ecosystem: React, Vue, Node.js
• DevOps topics: Docker, CI/CD, Linux server administration
• Performance optimization and security
• The role of AI and automation in web development

An ad-free reading experience by design

HelloBlog.io is completely ad-free. That means:

• No banner ads
• No sponsored posts disguised as editorial content
• No cookie walls
• No popups

The underlying belief is simple: a technical blog is most valuable when reading is uninterrupted and the content stays front-and-center.

The technical backbone (and why it’s documented publicly)

HelloBlog.io treats its implementation as part of the product. Instead of only writing about modern web development, the platform is built on a modern stack and the core technical decisions are documented openly-so you can see what’s running behind the scenes and how the pieces fit together.

The blog is built on open-source technologies, including:

• WordPress + Bedrock – a modern WordPress foundation using Composer for dependency management
• Sage 11 + Acorn – bringing Laravel-style components into WordPress development
• PHP 8.5 – positioned as the newest PHP version with JIT compilation
• Tailwind CSS + Alpine.js – a fast, responsive front-end setup
• Redis – server-side caching for faster response times
• Cloudflare – CDN plus DDoS protection
• Docker + Nginx – infrastructure components designed for scalability
