Hi HN,<p>This is an open source project I've worked on over weekends for a long time. The goal is to create a tool well suited for websites you expect to be around for 5 or 10+ years.<p>Would love any thoughts you have on it.<p>The reason why I decided to build this is all other (JS-based) static site generators I tried had one or of these problems:<p>- Built on an underlying framework like React, Vue, etc.<p>- Relies on complex build tools like Webpack, Babel, etc.<p>- Depends on a massive tree of modules that force constant maintenance<p>- Has interfaces, source code and documentation that cannot be understood in one sitting<p>- Requires that your site source be organized in a way that looks nothing like your output<p>- Forces a huge leap from hello world to a real world implementation<p>Thanks,<p>naansequitur<p>EDIT - List formatting
I love this. I have used Eleventy, Hugo, Gatsby, and Jekyll. All of them feel like overkill. I want to write my own HTML. I want to write posts (and maybe some simple pages) in markdown. And I want to be able to render a list of posts/individuals posts. This hits all of those in a really simple package. Nice work!
