gen_site is a static site generator made of Lua scripts. They turn a directory of posts into pages, index pages and feeds, and the generated site can be copied to a web host. The source is hosted on sourcehut, and the repository has no tagged release.

Worth knowing

The scripts need Lua and a terminal on a Unix derivative such as Linux, BSD, Mac OS or Bash on Windows. The README has no install section; its steps use the scripts from the repository.
