## Notes

Ignite is a static site builder for Swift developers. Sites are written as Swift code with a SwiftUI-like API, and the ignite build command converts that code into HTML in a Build folder. The command-line tool is installed from the source repository with make install. Paul Hudson originally created the project, as the README states.

## Worth knowing

The build needs a Swift toolchain of version 6.0 or later, as the package declares. The README badge names macOS 14.0 or later as the platform.
