## Notes

Statik is a static web site generator that defines its own data models in YAML and loads their instances, written in YAML or Markdown, into an in-memory SQLite database through SQLAlchemy. Views in YAML tell it which models, data and templates to render to which URLs, and the templates are written in Jinja2 or Mustache. The `statik` command writes the site into a public folder and can upload it over SFTP or to Netlify.

## Worth knowing

The README says the author has not had time to maintain the project in years and asks anyone who wants to take it over to fork it. The repository is archived on GitHub.
