I just created and launched a blog made with Softr.
It’s customized with CSS/JS.
It leverages card grid for blog and item details for the actual content.
Some of it’s capabilities are:
- Clean header with a centered cover image, a clear title, and a single, compact meta line (author / date / reading time).
- Avatar as the thumbnail – solved by cloning the actual, signed image URL (this avoids 403 errors from S3 and plays nicely with lazy-loading). I still have some issues to work out here, so it renders live, currently only working in preview mode.
- Typography system for better readability (balanced headings, line length, code snippets, quotes, and figcaptions).
- Content is delivered via Embed HTML – allowing for full flexibility within the article body without heavy plugins.
Everything is done with lightweight, custom CSS/JS on top of Softr – making it fast, accessible, and maintainable.

I have also started creating a CMS to handle everything.
It will also leverage HTML for the field tab in the database which the blog is utilizing.
I wish I didn’t have to rely on zapier or make to get this functionality.
You write an article in the CMS, and it restructures it with and all the other good stuff you need.
To come: URL slug instead of item-details and recordID.
