Nixite

A static site generator made in Nix.

This is currently very experimental / subject to change.

Why

Clearly there aren't already enough web frameworks out there.

I thought it would be fun.

I wanted to get better at Nix.

Importing other people's styles / component libs could actually be a decent experience.

You can process your site with the power of nixpkgs - eg you could process images using imagemagick.

How

Read flake.nix for basic usage. The default package will serve the site locally (using caddy)

nix run .

Or you can build it raw (dumps the produced site into ./result)

nix build .#raw

Run the tests and watch for changes

nix run .#watch
