firn

Static site generator written in Rust that renders folders of Org Mode files to HTML.

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.
