> I'm a big user of other SSGs but it is frequently frustrating that it takes so much setup to get started. Just having a directory of markdown files and running a single command sounds really useful. Michael, marmite user. How it works
It does "one" simple thing only: Reads all files on the directory. Using parse it to content. Extract optional metadata from or . Generated file for each page. Outputs the rendered static site to the folder.
