Pulse Post – Laravel News CMS with Android & iOS App

Pulse Post is a feature-rich PHP news and magazine content management system built with Laravel 13. It helps publishers, digital newsrooms, bloggers and media businesses create and manage a professional news website with companion mobile apps.

Version 10 introduces a Laravel-based architecture while retaining the familiar Pulse Post interface. It includes a modern magazine storefront, 11 story formats, customizable layouts, paid memberships, author earnings, advertising tools and multilingual publishing.

News and Magazine Publishing

Create articles, photo galleries, videos, audio stories, quizzes, polls, recipes, events and other interactive content. Manage your newsroom using a visual homepage builder, scheduling tools, media library, RSS importer and editorial permissions.

The responsive magazine design supports light and dark themes, breaking news tickers, trending stories, live radio, customizable navigation and advertising zones.

Memberships and Monetization

Offer members-only content, individually paid stories and period-based membership plans. Supported payment methods include Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Paystack, Mercado Pago, iyzico, PayTabs, NOWPayments and bank transfer.

Memberships do not automatically renew. The system instead provides renewal reminders and payment links.

Publishers can also manage author earnings, commissions, revenue sharing, invoices and payouts.

Flutter Mobile Applications

Pulse Post includes Flutter source code for Android and iPhone applications. The mobile experience supports news reading, offline saved stories, push notifications, background radio playback, user accounts, comments, reactions and advertising integrations.

App branding, homepage sections, advertisements and push settings can be managed through the CMS administration panel.

SEO and Multilingual Publishing

Publish content in multiple languages with right-to-left support, translation management and automatic translation features.

Built-in SEO capabilities include Google News sitemaps, XML sitemaps, structured data, canonical URLs and RSS feeds.

Cloud Storage and Administration

Manage content, staff, memberships, payments, advertising, SEO, newsletters and site settings through a centralized administration dashboard.

Media storage options include Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, Storage Box and Google Drive.
