Zas is a static site generator which offers a zen-like experience: a layout and some Markdown files as pages with unobtrusive structure and configuration.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Gophers. Yes, there is Hugo (kudos!) but… Who wants to learn another directory layout? There is also Hastie and lots of other static site generators.
- Pure Markdown. And HTML, if you want.
- Just a loop. Zas loops over all .md and .html files in the current directory (and subdirectories), ignoring other files (including dot-files).
- Your imagination is your limit. Zas has a simple extension mechanism based on subcommands.
- Do you need to handle a blog with Zas? Install/create a new extension and do it!
- Unobtrusive structure, no _ files.
