Static sites, without the ceremony.

Write your content in Markdown, and get a folder of plain files any web host can serve.

Get started 0.1.0 · MIT or Apache-2.0

Install it and make a site

brew install statac-ssg/statac/statac
statac new my-site
cd my-site
statac serve
Serving `.statac/serve` at http://localhost:3000/

no config file to write! *

* Unless you want to, of course. No Homebrew? Installing has a package for every machine.

When something is wrong, it says where

warning  Broken link: nothing is published at `/about-us/`
  content/posts/post-1.md, line 5
   5 │ Read more [about us](/about-us/).
     │                      ^^^^^^^^^^
  Did you mean `/about/`?
  More: https://statac.dev/e/broken-link/

Statac shows the file, the line and the exact text, with a fix where it has a good one. The More: link explains that kind of problem, as statac explain broken-link does in the terminal.

What you get

Broken links caught Every link within your site is followed before anything is published, down to the heading it points at.
Photographs handled Write an ordinary Markdown picture. Readers get it in several sizes, as AVIF with a JPEG behind it.
Sharing cards statac new --cards draws a link preview for every page, from a layout you set.
Yours, kept up to date Every template is a file in your site. statac new --update replaces only the ones you never changed.
Bring your site with you statac import brings a Hugo, Jekyll, Zola or Eleventy site across, and lists what it couldn’t: Arriving from another tool.
One program Sass, coloured code, feeds and a sitemap, built in. No plugins to hunt down, nothing to install beside it.

And the rest

Tags and series, several languages, webmentions, a preview that reloads as you save, no JavaScript unless you add it, and nothing published unless the whole build succeeds.
