This is my attempt at creating a blog using the FRESH framework. The subject of this blog is the Deno JavaScript runtime which Fresh runs on.

Use this command to run the project on a local server:

deno task start

The project directory and the server restarted when files are saved.

Deployment of the app is done to Deno Deploy. This repo is linked to my account on Deno Deploy, so when new or updated code is pushed the the main branch here, the app is automatically deployed.

Blog posts written in Markdown are stored in the posts folder. In order for the app to pick up a new post, the post file name must follow a strict naming convention. Here is an example:

My_post.2022-05-04.md

There are three sections to the name separated by a period:

• Post title, using underscores (_) to separate words of the title.
• The date posted in yyyy-MM-dd format.
• The md Markdown file extension.

The post title is used in the display of a post in a list of posts while the date is used to sort the post list in chronological order.

Any post file whose name is prefixed with 'DRAFT' is ignored in production (Deno Deploy), but will be visible when the app is run on a local server.

This app is deployed to the url https://deno-blog.deno.dev
