Announcing: The verless Static Site Generator

So I've created a new personal website for myself and, instead of sticking with PHP again, I desired a purely static website. This means that I author content as clean & simple Markdown files, define my own HTML templates and then render the content using those templates.

Eventually, I came up with my very own Static Site Generator that perfectly fits my needs:

  • Flexible templating through an own theming system.
  • Interchangeable themes due to pre-defined template variables.
  • Local development without a third-party webserver.
  • Creating projects & themes within a single command.
  • High performance, parallelized site builds.
  • Optional RSS feeds and overview pages for tags.
  • Auto-generated, overwritable overview pages for all directories.
  • Pre-build hooks for generating assets.
  • Simple configuration via YAML, TOML or JSON in a central file.

So here it is: The verless Static Site Generator

It is in active development and pre-build hooks specifically or themes are coming soon, but the public API already is stable. Maybe it is useful for some of you as well!
