Static site generator

wt - static site generator

What

Yet another static site generator with following features:

• markdown for content
• toml for configuration
• toml for content front-matter
• atom for feed
• content pages pagination

Under the hood this project uses following python libraries:

• attrs for models
• markdown-it for markdown-to-html conversion
• jinja for templating
• starlette for development web-server

Why

It was curiosity - "how would I do it?" and good intentions - "let's create something easy to work with".
