Zine
Static site generator, written in Zig, that builds a site from content files and layouts into an output directory.
Zine is a static site generator written in Zig. A Zine site is a collection of content files and layouts. The build turns the content into HTML, styles it with the layouts and copies the result into an output directory, which a static host can serve. Content is written in SuperMD, an extension of Markdown, and layouts are written in SuperHTML.
Zine is installed from a download for the platform, or compiled from source with Zig; the quickstart covers both. The docs include deployment guides for GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, Codeberg Pages and sourcehut pages, and an official GitHub Action runs Zine in CI.
Loris Cro maintains the project under the MIT license.
Worth knowing
The homepage describes Zine as beta software and says that not all planned features are implemented yet. Building from source needs Zig.
