À propos de Blog App

Quire is a blog app UI design template built on an "Inkwell Longform" aesthetic: a warm paper-cream canvas, near-black ink for body text, muted sepia for metadata and hairline rules, and a single oxblood red reserved for links, the active tab, and the publish button. There are no cards and no shadows here. Content sits directly on the page, divided only by thin sepia rules, with a high-contrast serif for headlines and body and a tracked-out grotesque for kickers and bylines.

The template ships six connected screens that form a complete reading-and-writing flow: a Feed led by a "Quire" serif masthead and a full-width lead story, a full-bleed Article with a drop-capped opening and a sticky progress rule, a Discover screen with serif topic chips and a staggered two-column list, a Bookmarks reading list with per-article progress, a distraction-free Compose canvas, and an author Profile. The signature "editorial kicker", a tracked uppercase eyebrow of category and reading time above an oversized headline, recurs as the spine of every screen.

Use it in Sleek and make it yours: restyle the palette, edit any screen with AI by describing the change, and add the flows your product needs. Then export it to code, copy it into Figma with no plugin, or hand a prompt to an AI agent to build it for real, far faster than starting from a blank canvas.

Écrans inclus

Feed

A serif "Quire" masthead over a lead story with a full-width letterbox photo, an oversized headline, a dek, and a category-and-reading-time kicker. The home screen that sets the literary tone.

Article

A full-bleed hero photo, an "ESSAYS · 9 MIN READ" kicker, a large headline, and a byline with a small round avatar and date, opening into a drop-capped body set in long measure. A sticky progress rule sits at the very top.

Discover

Underlined serif topic chips like Culture, Tech, Food, and Travel sit above a staggered two-column list of trending pieces with editorial photography. The browse-and-explore surface.

Bookmarks

A saved reading list where each entry shows category, reading time, author, and progress like "halfway · 6 min left" with an oxblood progress line. Lets readers pick up where they left off.

Compose

A distraction-free writing canvas with a faint serif "Title" placeholder, a "Begin your story..." prompt, a minimal bold/italic/quote/link/image bar, and an oxblood "Publish" button. Built for unhurried writing.

Profile

An author header with avatar, name, role line, italic serif bio, follower and published counts, and a rule-separated list of their latest pieces. The writer's home base.

Vos questions, nos réponses. Tout ce qu'il faut savoir avant de commencer.

How do I build a blog app from this template?

Click "Use this template" to open it in Sleek as your own editable project, then shape it by describing the changes you want: restyle the palette, edit any screen, and add the flows your product needs. You start from six complete screens instead of a blank canvas, so you reach a working blog app UI design much faster.

What screens are included in this blog app UI design template?

Six connected screens: Feed, Article, Discover, Bookmarks, Compose, and Profile. Together they cover the full reading-and-writing flow, from browsing the feed to reading a drop-capped article, saving pieces, and publishing your own.

Can I customize the blog app UI design?

Yes. Use the template in Sleek and edit any screen by chatting with the AI: change the palette, swap the typography, adjust layouts, and add or remove flows. There's no manual redraw; you describe the change and it's applied.

Can I get this blog app design into Figma?

Yes. Sleek copies your design straight into Figma with no plugin required, so you can keep refining it there. You can also export to code or hand a prompt to an AI agent like Claude Code or Cursor to build it into a real, working app.

Is this template suitable for a longform publishing or magazine app?

Absolutely. The full-bleed article, editorial kicker, drop-cap body, and reading-progress features map cleanly onto magazines, essay collections, and newsletter-style products. Adjust the topics and content to fit your niche.

Is this blog app design template free to use?

You can open and explore the design for free, then use it in your own Sleek project to build on it. Editing and exporting follow Sleek's standard plans.
