About Pure Blog Discover
A community directory for blogs and websites built on the Pure Blog platform. Anyone with a Pure Blog can add their site and get listed automatically — no account needed, no waiting for manual approval.
How it started
Pure Blog Discover started from a simple observation: there was no central place to discover blogs built on Pure Blog. While werschreibt.de.cool maintains a page with examples of Pure Blog sites, there was no community directory or aggregator where anyone could submit their own blog and have it listed automatically.
This project fills that gap — an open, self-updating directory where Pure Blog users can add their site in less than a minute.
How detection works
When you submit a blog, the server automatically fetches the page and checks for several key characteristics specific to the Pure Blog platform. If enough signals are found, the blog is approved instantly — no manual review needed.
If your blog is not detected automatically, the easiest fix is to add this tag to your Jekyll template:
<meta name="generator" content="Pure Blog">
If you prefer not to add this tag, you can contact us at discover@thinkroot.xyz and the blog will be added manually.
Who built this
Pure Blog Discover was built by ThinkRoot. Not being a web developer or designer, the entire project was built with the help of Claude AI by Anthropic — from the PHP backend and detection logic to the frontend design. The goal was to create something useful for the Pure Blog community without needing to write every line of code from scratch.
How to contribute
The project is open source under the MIT License. The source code is available on Forgejo.
If you find a bug or have an idea for improvement, you can open an issue or submit a pull request on Forgejo.
If you know a Pure Blog site that is not listed, you can submit it directly from the directory or send the link to discover@thinkroot.xyz.
The spirit of the project is to keep things simple — no frameworks, no databases, minimal dependencies.
