Static blog powered by React + GatsbyJS
Revista is a sleek, free blog/magazine template designed to make launching your next site easy and accessible for everyone. Whether you're dreaming of a personal blog or a professional online magazine, Revista is ready to bring your ideas to life.
The best part? It’s completely open-source! If you’re planning to use Revista for your project, there’s no need to ask for permission—just dive in and make it your own.
For open-source enthusiasts: Simply add your articles to the /content folder using the provided Markdown templates, and with a CI/CD setup and a host like Netlify or Vercel, your site will automatically generate everything - articles, categories, and more.

Design Process
The design process for Revista started with a clear goal: to create a clean, modern theme that resonates with creative professionals and enthusiasts. Drawing inspiration from minimalist editorial layouts, I focused on typography, whitespace, and intuitive navigation to ensure an aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly experience.
Gatsby was the ideal choice for this project due to its blazing-fast performance, extensive plugin ecosystem, and seamless integration with headless CMSs, making it perfect for a modern, content-focused blog or magazine theme.
Project Success
Transforming ideas into real results with custom web development
The Launch
Revista was launched by sharing it on popular static site generator theme directories like jamstackthemes.dev, making it accessible to a wide audience of developers and content creators. These platforms helped the theme gain visibility among those seeking modern blog solutions. By showcasing it on these sites, I aimed to connect with a community of creatives who value performance, simplicity, and a clean design aesthetic.
The Impact
Revista was released as an open-source project to provide developers with a high-quality, ready-to-use solution for blogs and magazines. By making the theme freely available, I aimed to encourage innovation and collaboration in the developer community. Developers can customize and expand the theme to match their specific needs, helping them bring their creative ideas to life while contributing to the growing open-source ecosystem.
Within a week, I already received glowing feedback and a ton of "forks" on GitHub, meaning that other developers are using my code to build their own blog. That was the primary goal, and I'm glad to see other developers continue to use my starter for their own creative ventures.
