Riso: two inks, one very charming document

Riso borrows the community print-shop look: pink headings, blue working text, dotted rules, and cream stock that makes both inks sing. Below is a complete sample rendered in it.

What does the Riso theme look like?

This is a complete sample report rendered in Riso: the exact output the editor downloads, embedded here unmodified.

Quarterly Growth Report

Written by an LLM in seconds, styled by markdown.style.

This is the markdown an AI assistant hands you: solid structure, zero design. The theme you are looking at is doing all of the visual work.

Highlights

Region Revenue Growth
EMEA 4.2M +14%
APAC 3.1M +22%
AMER 6.8M +9%

What drove the quarter

Net growth is computed per region as rate * (1 - churnShare) and rolled up weekly. The pipeline behind it:

export function netGrowth(rates: number[], churn: number[]): number {
  return rates.reduce((sum, r, i) => sum + r * (1 - (churn[i] ?? 0)), 0)
}

Numbers exclude the acquisition closed after the quarter cutoff.[1]

Full methodology lives in the reporting handbook.

Math

Markdown

The compound growth rate is $r = (V_f/V_i)^{1/n} - 1$.

Averaged across all quarters:

$$\bar{r} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} r_i$$

Riso

The compound growth rate is r=(Vf/Vi)1/n−1r = (V_f/V_i)^{1/n} - 1.

Averaged across all quarters:

rˉ=1n∑i=1nri\bar{r} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} r_i

Mermaid diagrams need a live browser to lay out, so this static gallery can't render one; try it in the editor.

Who is the Riso theme for?

Zines, event programs, community updates, and side-project docs; writing that should feel hand-made and a little joyful.

Which themes pair well with it?

  • Pop: Team updates, internal newsletters, onboarding docs
  • Retro: Newsletters, personal sites turned PDFs, and culture-team documents
