Ema is a next-gen Haskell library toolkit for building jamstack-style static sites.
Ema sites are change-aware; in addition to good ol’ static site generation, it provides a live server supporting fast hot-reload in the browser on code or data change.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Hot Reloading – ny changes to your Haskell source or data files (such as Markdown files or HTML templates) propagate instantly to the web browser without requiring any manual intervention like a full browser refresh. The Ema dev server uses websockets to keep a bi-directional connection open between the web browser and the backend server.
- Ema apps have a basic CLI argument structure.
