Shocky – Kotlin-based website generator

Shocky is a Kotlin-based website generator that combines Markdown content with reusable, type-safe components and templates.

It uses the kotlinx.html DSL to define page layouts programmatically, while kotlinx.serialization handles front matter attached to individual pages.

Sites are generated at compile time and require no client-side JavaScript. Shocky also offers Tailwind CSS integration, asset management and a development server that refreshes pages when source files change.

This is free and open source software.
