## Notes

firn is a static site generator for Org Mode files, written in Rust. Running the binary on a directory of Org files reads them recursively, parses them, collects links, tags and logbooks, and renders HTML through the Tera template engine. The README describes it as a drop-in way to create a site from an existing folder of Org files, and gives `firn new`, `firn serve` and `firn build` as the commands. It is installed by downloading the binary from the GitHub releases page.

## Worth knowing

The documentation address the README links now shows an unrelated site, so the project has no site on record and the record is a stub.
