git-native blogging

Your blog is a Git repository.

Connect a public repository. Your markdown becomes a blog at ranty.dev/@you — versioned, portable, yours. No CMS, no build to babysit.

Three steps. No CMS.

Write where you already write. Push when you want. ranty handles the address.

Connect a repo

Write markdown

Add .md files with YAML frontmatter. Folders, covers, drafts and tags work as you'd expect.

git push

ranty syncs and publishes at ranty.dev/@you. The history stays in your repository.

~/my-blog

$ git add posts/hello-world.md
$ git commit -m "new post"
$ git push origin main
# live in seconds at ranty.dev/@you/hello-world

see it live

Three templates. One repo.

Pick a built-in look with one line in ranty.yml. Below is the same content rendered three ways — open any to explore it live.

ranty.dev/@ranty_minimal

minimal

A single reading column.

Built for people who live in Git.

Versioned by default

Every post is a file, every edit is a commit. The blog's history is the repo's history — diff it, revert it, blame it.

Bilingual posts

Write a post in two languages and ranty serves each reader the right one, with a fallback to the original.

post.en.md post.pt.md → EN / PT

Images & covers

Drop a cover.png in the post's folder and reference images relatively — ranty stores and serves them for you.
