<Comments pageId="my-post" />Works with Astro, Next.js, Hugo, Jekyll — anything that outputs HTML.
Made for makers
who write.
Not another CMS. Not another platform asking you to move. JamWidgets works with your existing site, your existing workflow, your existing words.
You keep your static site's speed, security, and simplicity. We just add the parts that need a server — so your readers can talk back.
"This is exactly what I needed for my blog. Finally I can hear from readers without bolting on a whole backend or moving to a platform I don't control."
Cook here.
Serve anywhere.
Draft posts in JamWidgets' editor. When you're ready, your static site pulls them via API. Astro content loaders, Next.js, whatever you use — it just works.
Schedule posts for later. Save drafts. Keep everything in one place while your words live on your own domain.
Share your work
without the grind.
Coming soon Connect your social accounts. When you publish, queue up posts to Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn — all from one place.
Schedule them. Edit the copy for each platform. Or just let it go out automatically. Your writing, amplified. 📣
