πŸš€ Building Zeno – My Lightweight, Plugin-First Markdown Blog Framework

I created Zeno to solve a problem I kept running into: most blogging frameworks felt bloated, slow, or hard to customize. I wanted something lightweight, flexible, and easy to extendβ€”a tool that just works and grows with your needs.

What Zeno Offers:

  • Simple Setup: npm i -g zeno-blog then zeno init to scaffold, zeno build to generate static HTML, zeno serve for local dev.
  • Plugin-First: Extend functionality without touching the core.
  • Custom Assets: A public folder system for easy asset management.
  • Themes: Minimal but practical features for blogging.

Building Zeno was a journey in keeping things minimal yet powerful. I wanted a framework that developers could hack, tweak, and scale without friction.

I’d love for developers and writers to try Zeno, experiment with plugins, and contribute. If you’re into fast, hackable blogging tools, check it out: GitHub.
