novos

( aka 'novos omits very old standards' )

Build at the speed of thought.

[!WARNING] novos is currently beta software. Expect frequent updates and potential breaking changes as we approach v1.0.

We are currently changing to Tera. For the meantime, the default template partially works. Same with the official website

What is novos?

novos is a lightning-fast static site generator (SSG) built in Rust. It takes your Markdown files and turns them into a website in milliseconds.

Features

• Sass transpilation via native grass (no C++ or Node.js required)
• Fast Parallelism utilizing Rayon for multi-core page generation
• Self-Contained binary with embedded assets via rust-embed
• Shortcodes, Includes, & Variables for flexible templating
• RSS generation baked-in
• search.json, so you can search
• syntect, because who hates colors?
• minification + WebP-ification, because you want speed, right?
• Axum, for a stellar webserver + WebSockets.
• Themes, for a wide variety of presets.
• Tera, because who loves repeating themselves?
