A simple, yet very flexible static site generator. - jplatte/hinoki

I just released v0.1.0 of hinoki, my static site generator :)
The README.md should explain usage, and you can also see how I ported my blog to it here.

This project started because I’m not entirely happy with Zola, which does not support customizing page paths much (e.g. /year/month/day/title/index.html style paths) and made some other design decisions that I wanted to explore alternatives to.

You can download the binary from GitHub releases, or cargo install it from git.

Any feedback is appreciated, here or in the GitHub issues!

    EDIT: Here’s a screenshot of what I mean by saying I’ve gone way overboard.

    Wow! Impressive :)

    You accidentally re-used the link to the Zola issue tracker there.

    Oops, fixed.

    it’ll depend on how amenable it is to checking a site rooted in a file:// URL so I don’t need the overhead and complexity of spinning up an HTTP server to check for broken links.

    Wouldn’t you want your SSG to include a dev-server anyways? Zola has zola serve which even does incremental rebuilds, but something less sophisticated should be easy to add to your own (only took me a weekend to add to hinoki including rebuilds, though mostly starting the build from scratch on changes).

      I don’t want the overhead of looping through an HTTP client and server implementation in places it doesn’t need to. I design my tooling based on a test target roughly comparable to the Raspberry Pi 4, performance-wise.
