Nicolino is a static site generator written in Crystal. It converts Markdown content into websites containing blog posts, standalone pages, documentation and image galleries.
The software supports custom taxonomies, RSS feeds, full-text search and automatic XML sitemap generation. Its parallel, incremental build system avoids regenerating content unnecessarily.
