Built for Speed and Simplicity

Modern tooling with timeless principles

🌐

Apache SSI Syntax

Use familiar server-side includes that have worked for decades. No new templating language to learn.

⚡

Bun-Powered Performance

Native HTMLRewriter, fs.watch, and Bun.serve APIs deliver ultra-fast builds and live development.

🔧

Component Architecture

Build maintainable sites with reusable components. No more copy-pasting headers and footers.

📝

Markdown + Frontmatter

Write content in Markdown with YAML frontmatter. Perfect for blogs, docs, and content sites.

🛡️

Security First

Path traversal prevention, input validation, and secure serving. Static output means no runtime vulnerabilities.

🌍

Cross-Platform

Runs on Node.js, Deno, and Bun. Compile to standalone executables for any platform.
