A simple, yet very flexible static site generator. - jplatte/hinoki

I just released v0.1.0 of hinoki, my static site generator :)
The README.md should explain usage, and you can also see how I ported my blog to it here.

This project started because I’m not entirely happy with Zola, which does not support customizing page paths much (e.g. /year/month/day/title/index.html style paths) and made some other design decisions that I wanted to explore alternatives to.

You can download the binary from GitHub releases, or cargo install it from git.

Any feedback is appreciated, here or in the GitHub issues!

    Wouldn’t you want your SSG to include a dev-server anyways? Zola has zola serve which even does incremental rebuilds, but something less sophisticated should be easy to add to your own (only took me a weekend to add to hinoki including rebuilds, though mostly starting the build from scratch on changes).

    I don’t want the overhead of looping through an HTTP client and server implementation in places it doesn’t need to. I design my tooling based on a test target roughly comparable to the Raspberry Pi 4, performance-wise.
