Powerpack – batteries-included Clojure toolkit for building static websites

Powerpack is a batteries-included Clojure toolkit for building static websites.

It combines Stasis with a collection of supporting tools, providing the wiring for content ingestion, development serving, asset optimisation, image processing, internationalisation, live reload, and static export. Powerpack reads content from Markdown and EDN files into an in-memory Datomic database, leaving developers free to construct pages in their own preferred way.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

• Build static websites with Clojure.
• Reads Markdown and EDN content by default.
• Uses an in-memory Datomic database for site content.
• Asset optimisation pipeline.
• Image manipulation including crop, resize, and greyscale.
• Live reload during development.
• Internationalisation support.
• Code syntax highlighting.
• Exports pages, images, and assets ready for deployment.
• Configurable rendering using Ring responses, strings, Hiccup, or Clojure data.
