Docs Getting started
Quick start
From one prompt to a live site with a blog.
You need Claude Code or Codex. You don't need a hosting account, an API key or a database.
1. Paste the prompt
Open Claude Code or Codex in an empty folder and paste:
Make me a blog with Hettie (npx hettie new my-blog) and publish it.2. Sign in once
Your agent runs npx hettie new my-blog. Your browser opens with a short code. Check it matches, then sign in with Google. You only do this once per computer.
3. Your agent builds and publishes
Hettie downloads the blog template into a my-blog folder. Your agent changes it to fit what you asked for, tries it on your computer with npx hettie dev, then runs hettie publish.
A minute later you get a link like https://my-blog.hettie.dev.
4. Open the editor
Go to app.hettie.dev, find your site and click Open admin. The first person in becomes the owner.
5. Let Claude run it
Connect Claude to your blog so it can write and publish posts for you. See Connect Claude.
