kew is an extremely minimal static site generator written in Go and inspired by werc.
It takes a directory tree of Markdown documents and static assets and turns it into a fully static HTML website. The project uses the filesystem itself to define structure and navigation, avoiding metadata, databases, runtime services, and other dynamic behaviour.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Converts Markdown files into HTML using lowdown.
- Copies non-Markdown files directly to the output tree.
- Mirrors the source directory layout in the generated site.
- Generates navigation automatically from the directory hierarchy.
- Rewrites relative links from .md targets to .html targets.
- Wraps generated pages in a single global HTML template.
- Supports template placeholders for title, navigation, content, and footer.
- Lets you customise site title, footer text, template filename, and navigation symbols by editing the configuration and recompiling.
