Turn any GitHub repo into a fast, beautiful blog. No CMS. No dashboard. No accounts. No builds. Just your repo. If your repo has a `/blog` folder with markdown files, plok.sh renders them as clean, themed blog posts: It supports: * 20+ themes * Shiki code highlighting * optional `blog.config.yaml` * optional headers and footers for templating. * optional `/blog/links.yaml` (Linktree-style page) * automatic TOC * Google Analytics if you add your own G-ID * zero server-side storage
Love this “no-dashboard, no-account, no-builds” philosophy — feels like blogging the way devs actually want it.
One question though:
How do you think about long-term content portability and versioning?
Since everything lives in the repo, it’s super clean — but curious whether plok.sh plans to support things like image hosting, drafts, or multi-repo content without drifting into “yet another CMS.”
The thin-layer approach is refreshing. Would be great to hear how far you want to push it while keeping it minimal.
@antonrivellium those are all great ideas. the next addition is images. Use Github to host your blog images to your content. Drafts are possible too and we have mechanism for that. But of course, maintaining plok's philoshophy of just using Github entirely.
Recap
Open-sourcing it is a great idea - wishing you fast growth ahead!
@zhiqi_shi Thanks!
Is it completely open-source?
@pasha_tseluyko Yes. The code is on Github with MIT license.
Is this only work with Github i guess?
@melanie_jumaga Yes at the moment. Are you looking for another service? let me know. cheers.

This looks really interesting! I love the concept of turning a repo into a blog without any build steps or CMS bloat.[1] Definitely going to give this a try. 🚀
@k1lgor Yep, we also updated Plok yesterday to host a linktree like page using just a links.yaml in your repo. Have a go!
Awesome idea! Love the clean execution of plok.sh. What tech stack did you use for the implementation? I'm curious how it all comes together!
@goyashy
Thanks mate!
Next.js on Vercel Serverless thats it pretty much.
There isn't much of a 'stack' for plok. I think that was the whole idea.
It has no database, no auth, no storage, nothing!
But of course thanks to the other open source libraries, Tailwind + Shiki + and all the open source themes.

Excited to test it out on one of my projects. Congratulations on the launch.
@getsiful Thanks mate!
