Dodeca is a fully incremental static site generator.
It uses cached queries throughout its build pipeline, so changing a file causes only the affected transformations to run again.
Development and production use the same processing pipeline, including cache-busted asset URLs, minified HTML, responsive images and font subsetting. Dodeca also provides its own Jinja-like template engine with conditionals, loops, variable interpolation and detailed error diagnostics.
This is free and open source software.
