finch

Static site generator written in OCaml that compiles Markdown content with frontmatter into HTML using Jingoo templates.

finch is a static site generator written in OCaml. It compiles Markdown files with optional YAML frontmatter into HTML using Jingoo layout templates. The documentation describes it as a site generator in the style of Jekyll and Hugo, and says a site is built by running finch in the appropriate directory.

The README also describes using it to generate static pages from React components, with examples in the repository.
