Project Broadsheet is an Eleventy-based publishing framework with nine editorial sections, a reviews stack, a library, reader tools, search, and SEO built in. It is MIT-licensed and maintained by one person.
Most of what makes a publication feel like a publication (proper editorial sections, a reviews stack, a searchable archive, reader-focused tools) used to live only inside major news organizations or behind subscription paywalls. Project Broadsheet brings those tools out in the open.
Twenty-seven reader tools that other platforms don't have, and never will.
Nine editorial verticals configured out of the box, each with pagination and its own RSS feed.
Formats designed for real publications, not blogs.
Built to rank, built to find.
Everything you'd pay a SaaS for, wired up in a single config file.
Plain Markdown in Git. Migrate away in an afternoon.
No sign-up, no account, no trial. Clone the repo, run a few commands, deploy wherever you want.
Clone jonajinga/broadsheet. Rename the folder. Make it yours.
Edit site.json for metadata and sections. Edit tokens.css for colors and fonts. One file each.
Push to GitHub. Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or Vercel will deploy in under a minute.
