verless is a simple and lightweight static site generator.
It’s designed for Markdown-based content with a focus on simplicity and performance. It reads your Markdown files, applies your HTML templates and renders them as a website.
The philosophy of verless is that it provides a very basic feature set by default – it basically just renders your Markdown content using HTML templates -, and you explicitly have to enable more advanced features in your project configuration.
verless is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Flexible theming: Themes define the HTML templates as well as styles and scripts for your frontend. Initializing a new theme can be done within a single command, and setting it as active requires a single line of configuration. Since verless provides pre-defined template variables, themes are interchangeable.
- Rapid development: Just like themes, new projects can be created using a single command. Local development requires no third-party webserver as verless comes with a built-in webserver and rebuilds your project when something changes.
- High performance: Generating a static site typically is a matter of milliseconds. To keep build times short, verless lets you choose and explicitly enable features you need – only generate RSS feeds or overview pages for tags if you want to.
- Focus on simplicity: Global information, page types, plugins and other settings are configured in a central configuration file inside your project.
