HydePHP

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.
