We Open-Sourced Our Blog

A few people asked for the code after the post about building this blog in 10 minutes.

Here it is: crunchy-ember-blogkit

This is the same codebase we use to publish what you're reading right now. Same blog service, same routes, same templates, same dark mode toggle. We swapped out our content and colors so it works as a starter, but the code is identical.

Run pnpm install && pnpm start and you have a working blog. One of the sample posts walks through customization. Deploy is pnpm build and upload the dist/ folder to Netlify.

If you build something with it, let us know.

AI Transparency: This post was written with assistance from Claude Opus 4.5. The blogkit itself was extracted and cleaned up using Copilot with Claude Opus 4.5.
