Gerbil is a “dynamic website generator”, written in Nim which can be used as a static site generator.
It is meant to provide many of the conveniences of static site generators (ease of content creation, deploying, and maintenance), but to also provide a customizable backend for dynamic features such as hosting user comments. It is flat-file based (no database used) by design.
The Gerbil binary can be used to scaffold and serve a site without writing Nim code, or the Gerbil library can be imported and customized.
This is free and open source software.
