Static website generator that pre-renders the pages of a running HTTP server into static files.

STUB. This software has no release or pre-release in four years, or its project site no longer shows it, so it is not part of the register, not counted and not indexed. It will be checked again.

## Notes

staticgen is a static website generator written in Go. It starts the HTTP server of a project the user already has, crawls the pages that server returns, and generates the pages and assets as a static site.

## Worth knowing

The README says it does not pre-render with a headless browser, so pages that rely on client-side JavaScript are copied in the state the server returns them.
