Get Started

Three commands to a live publication. No account required.

Project Broadsheet is a git clone away. Everything you need — the full source, 27 reader tools, nine editorial sections, RSS, search, SEO, dark mode — is already included and configured.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or later (nodejs.org)
  • A GitHub account (free)
  • A terminal. Any OS works — macOS, Linux, Windows.

One — Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/jonajinga/broadsheet.git my-publication
cd my-publication

Two — Install dependencies

npm install

Takes under a minute on a modern connection.

Three — Run it locally

npm start

The site is now live at http://localhost:8080 with hot reload. Open it in your browser, click through the sample pages, explore the reader tools.
