Uzu is a static site generator with built-in web server, file modification watcher, live reload, i18n, themes, multi-page support, inject external data via local Perl 6 module, and external pre/post command execution. You write your posts using HTML and save them as text files on your hard-drive. Uzu then takes them, and creates a full HTML site for you.

Features

• Easy to use: Based on existing static site generator conventions
• Built-in development webserver: Test your modifications (http://localhost:3000) as you work
• Auto Re-render: uzu watch monitors the theme/[your-theme]/, pages/, partials/, and i18n/ folders for modifications and auto-renders to build
• Live reload: uzu watch automatically reloads the browser when a re-render occurs
• Templating: Supports Template6 and Mustache template engines.
• i18n support: Use YAML to define each language in the i18n/ folder (e.g. i18n/en.yml)
• Page / layout support: Generate individual pages wrapped in the same theme layout
• Extended variables: Inject dynamically generated data into project via external Perl 6 module.
• Pre/Post commands: Trigger external commands to execute before or after build.
• YAML variables: Create page-specific and partial-specific variables as a YAML block at the top of any page or partial template.
• Trigger rebuild manually: Press r enter to initiate a full rebuild. This is useful for when you add new files or modify files that are not actively monitored by uzu, e.g. images, css, fonts, or any non .tt, .mustache, or .yml files
• Actively developed: More features coming soon (e.g. more tests, AWS, Github Pages, SSH support...)
