Toucan
Markdown-based static site generator written in Swift.
Toucan is a static site generator written in Swift. It reads Markdown content and Mustache templates from a project folder and builds every page at build time, and the generated files can be hosted on a file server. Besides generating a site, the command line has watch and serve subcommands for rebuilding and previewing. The docs describe locale and time zone settings for multi-language sites. Binary Birds maintains the project, and the project’s own website is generated with Toucan.
Worth knowing
The docs describe deployment to GitHub Pages through a GitHub Actions guide.
