# Charge

Opinionated, zero-config static site generator that builds sites from JSX and MDX templates.

STUB. This software has no release or pre-release in four years, or its project site no longer shows it, so it is not part of the register, not counted and not indexed. It will be checked again.

## Notes

Charge is a static site generator that renders JSX and MDX templates server-side, so the site it generates is static files. The [documentation](https://charge.js.org/usage) describes two commands: `charge serve` starts a live-reloading development server, and `charge build` writes the static files that get deployed. The project describes itself as having no configuration, and the [installation page](https://charge.js.org/installation) names the scoped package `@static/charge` because the unscoped name on npm belongs to another project. The [deployment page](https://charge.js.org/deployment) lists Amazon S3, Netlify, Vercel and Heroku as hosts.
