parklife

Ruby library that renders a Rack application, such as Rails or Sinatra, into a static HTML build.

parklife is a Ruby gem that renders a Rack application, such as one built with Rails or Sinatra, into a static build. It is added to the application’s Gemfile, and the parklife build command crawls the application and writes the static files to a build directory. The build can be served by GitHub Pages, Netlify, S3, Vercel, or any other server.

Worth knowing

The README says parklife does not handle assets such as images and CSS, which have to be generated and copied into the build directory separately.
