Hunim is a small, fast, and unopinionated static site generator.
It transforms Markdown into complete websites using HTML templates, reusable components, front matter, and optional NimScript execution.
The software includes a development server with hot reload and dependency-aware incremental rebuilding. It can also generate RSS feeds, post indexes, sitemaps, and build-time syntax highlighting without requiring client-side JavaScript.
This is free and open source software.
