Why a Fresh blog?

We wanted a publishing workflow that keeps our writing close to the code. Markdown with front matter gives us the structure we need for metadata while staying readable in version control. Every post lives alongside the rest of our Fresh project, so reviews happen in the same pull requests as the features they describe.

A frictionless authoring flow

Create a new file in content/posts, add a front matter section, and start writing. The build system automatically discovers the file, parses the metadata, and renders it into a fully responsive article.

What is included

  • Automated metadata extraction (title, description, date, tags)
  • A professional layout focused on legibility for technical readers
  • GitHub-flavored Markdown rendering with code-friendly styling

Happy writing!
