Built for writers, newsletters and small editorial teams. Reef ships 94 static pages: articles, topics, authors, search, RSS feeds per language and a reading-first layout, with no front-end framework. The optional EmDash engine, off by default, moves posts and media to your own Cloudflare D1 and R2 and publishes from /_emdash without a rebuild, with a design page for logo, colours and typefaces, SEO tools and a maintenance mode. The source is public under MIT. Capacitor configuration is included; native builds and store submission remain your responsibility.
