## Notes

squido turns Markdown posts and pages into static HTML, rendered with Handlebars, EJS or Pug templates. It is a Node.js command line tool installed from npm, and `squido build` writes the site to a `build` folder. Content from Ghost and WordPress exports can be imported, and a post editor is served alongside the local development server.

## Worth knowing

The build runs on Node.js. The output is static files, which can be hosted anywhere static websites are supported.
