## Notes

Waffel is a static site generator for Node.js that builds a website from a well structured data folder of content and HTML views. The project publishes it as the npm package `waffel`, which a Node.js script requires to build the site. Its views use Nunjucks, and the [documentation](https://moonwave99.github.io/waffel/docs/) covers the options, events, helpers and filters. The homepage describes the output as static site generation and lists the localization of content among its features.

## Worth knowing

The README recommends running Waffel with Brunch through a starter skeleton project.
