A no-clutter blogging platform for developers to share their devlogs and postmortems.
DevMortem is a lightweight platform designed to let developers post and share their devlogs, project postmortems, and technical articles — without distractions.
It focuses on simplicity, speed, and clarity — both for writers and readers.
This project began as a two-week MVP sprint emphasizing building fast, staying focused, and learning by doing rather than over-architecting.
The goal was to create a minimalist, developer-first publishing tool that supports detailed, stylized technical writing while keeping the interface clutter-free.
It’s made by developers, for developers — a space to share the real story behind code, design choices, and lessons learned.
