plok.sh – Instantly turn GitHub repos into fast, themed blogs

Summary: plok.sh converts any GitHub repository with a /blog folder into a clean, themed blog without requiring a CMS, dashboard, or builds. It renders markdown files with syntax highlighting and supports customization via optional config files and themes, serving content directly from the repo with no server-side storage.

What it does

plok.sh reads markdown files in a repo’s /blog folder, applies one of 20+ themes with Shiki code highlighting, and serves the content at a clean URL without any deployment or backend setup.

Who it's for

Developers or writers who want to publish markdown-based blogs directly from GitHub repositories without managing additional infrastructure.

Why it matters

It eliminates the need for separate blogging platforms by leveraging GitHub’s existing version control, hosting, and authentication features.
