Spike

Static site build tool, powered by webpack, that transforms HTML, CSS and JavaScript through plugins.

Spike is a static site generator built on webpack, with plugins that transform HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It is installed globally with npm, and a site is built with spike compile. The local development server is powered by Browsersync.

Worth knowing

The README states that the project is currently unmaintained. The command line tool collects anonymous usage data by default, and spike analytics disable turns that off. The docs say Carrot Creative sponsors the project.
