## Notes

Grus is a static site generator written in Scala. It uses Scalatags for templates and Flexmark for markdown, and it runs on the JVM: the released jar is started with `java -jar`. The README names Homebrew, the jar and an sbt plugin as the ways to install it, and says it runs on the command line. The repository is owned by Chip Senkbeil.

## Worth knowing

The GitHub repository was archived by its owner. The website the project lists does not load the software: it redirects to unrelated pages over plain http, so the record links no homepage.
