The devlog theme

A software engineer's site in the style of a code repository.

2 min read

devlog is for software engineers. It dresses the same content as orbit like a code repository: your profile is the sidebar, and the rest reads like a project you are proud of.

cd me && meteorite serve

How it looks #

ContentShown as
ProfileA repo-owner sidebar: avatar, name, handle, role, status, location, socials, stack
Home bioREADME.md panel
ProjectsRepository cards with language dots (from stack), year and links
ActivityA contribution graph built from the dates of your pages
BlogA commit-style log: date, title, tags, reading time
NotesSmall 2026-03-04.md file windows
ResumeA changelog-style timeline from data/resume.yml, print-friendly
LinksThe same links-in-bio page as orbit
FooterAn editor status bar with the branch, feed and Meteorite version

Navigation is a row of editor tabs, and every inner page has a ~/section/page path above it.

Content and parameters #

Front matter, section layouts (projects, notes, archive, list), data/socials.yml and data/resume.yml are exactly as described for orbit. Extra to devlog:

ParameterDefaultMeaning
handlenoneUsername shown under your name
show_activitytrueThe activity graph on the home page
skinslateslate, dracula or gruvbox

The activity block in sections: places the graph; the default order is [projects, activity, posts, notes, contact]. The graph ends at the date of your newest page, not at today, so the same content always draws the same picture. Skills listed under skills.items in the home page’s front matter appear in the sidebar with language dots.
