# Nixite
A static site generator made in Nix.
## 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 build the site:
```sh
nix build .
```
You can also serve it locally (using caddy)
```sh
nix run .#serve
```
