bakesite 0.4.0

The Simplest Static Site Generator

Bakesite :pie:

A refreshingly simple static site generator.

Markdown in. HTML out.

As good as Grandma's pie.

Getting Started

pip install bakesite

Create a content directory with a blog directory that contains all your markdown files. And then create a content/index.md file.

bakesite bake

And then

bakesite serve

View the site on http://localhost:8003

Yet Another Static Site Generator

While I used both Jekyll, Pelican and Hugo for different iterations of my personal blog, I always felt the solution to the simple problem of static site building was over-engineered.

If you look into the code bases of any other aforementioned projects, understanding, altering or contributing back is a daunting task.

Why did it have to be so complicated? And how hard could it be to build?

Acknowledgements

Thanks to a previous project by Sunaina Pai, Makesite, for providing the foundations of this project.

Philosophy

Make the easy simple. And the hard possible.

If you are looking for a site generator with reactive html elements, this project is most likely not for you.
