0ty v1.1.3

0ty: A Zero-Config Static Site Generator

0ty is a static site generator that (hopefully) requires no fuss outside of installing 0ty and deploying your static site.

There is nothing to configure. Write your content in Markdown then run 0ty on it. 0ty will spit out a styled website with a navbar based on your content.

Example

Suppose you have a directory personal-website containing Markdown, images, etc.

personal-website/
├── about.md
├── image.jpg (This image is linked in the about.md file.)
├── blog/
│   ├── bar.md
│   └── foo.md
└── index.md

If personal-website is in your current working directory, you can enter the command npx 0ty personal-website site, it will spit out the following site directory:

site/
├── about/
│   ├── image.jpg
│   └── index.html
├── blog/
│   ├── bar/
│   │   └── index.html
│   ├── foo/
│   │   └── index.html
│   └── index.html
├── index.html
└── lemur.css (This is the styling that 0ty provides.)

• Requires Node.js. (0ty was built and tested using Node.js version 16.15.1.)
