## Notes

HydePHP is a static site generator built on Laravel Zero that turns a folder of Markdown and Blade files into a static website. Pages are written in Markdown with YAML front matter or as Blade files. The directory a source file sits in decides which Blade template renders it, so layout follows from where files are placed. Node is needed only to compile a site's own assets, and the compiled output is plain files for any web server or FTP host.

## Worth knowing

The about page names one creator and maintainer, Emma De Silva, and says the project has no venture funding. Development happens in a separate monorepo, while the template repository is the one Composer installs.
