m8t

A minimal static site generator. Your best friend.

"m8t", pronounced "mate", is yet another static site generator, built to power the original author's website.

[!NOTE] This project is currently being developed and will hopefully be generally available by late Summer 2025

Core values

• Simplicity. The core should be as light as possible, satisfying the needs of most out of the box, and with a mental model that's easy to understand.
• Easy to extend. The defaults should suit most needs, but following the Open-closed principle, anyone needing to extend the core should be able to do so.
• Truly static output. You should be able to take the output of m8t and put it anywhere that can host static sites. There should be no need for functions or compute.
• Lightweight output. m8t does as little as possible when transforming, and should output just the stuff you need.

m8t's values are inspired by other technologies like Express, Sinatra, Flask, and Lume.

Why the name?

"m8t" is a numerical contraction of "minimalist", which is one of the values of this static site generator.
