Makko

Markdown-based static site generator for blogs and websites, written in Zig.

Makko is a static site generator that turns Markdown posts into a website, with templates written in Mustache. It is a single command-line binary built with the Zig compiler: a project folder holds the posts, the templates and a makko.json file, and running makko . writes the finished site into an output folder that any HTML host can serve. The English documentation describes the setup and the feeds it writes, and the project is maintained by The Starlight Network on its own Forgejo instance.

Worth knowing

The documentation says Makko is designed primarily for blogs and does not support fully custom templates beyond the post and feed templates. It also says the built-in server is not meant for production, so the site goes to a separate host.
