What people are saying
-
Finally started playing around with
mkws, @adi@twtxt.net! Lots of fun! :-) Now I need some content. ;-) -
I can’t express how happy I am to have a decent shell SSG. You are now truly one of my heroes.
-
The best parts of
mkwsare the simplicity and the ability to tweak the script for your use case. Putting everything in one binary or adding a bunch of extra features like a web server would add unnecessary complication. -
mkwsfor mine is both small and minimal, but not remotely limiting, and packs a punch becauseshworks surprisingly well as a templating language. -
Love the idea of
mkws! Together with a class-less CSS lib like new.css this seems like a great way to get some content online fast and efficiently. -
Wow, such simple yet useful idea. Great job! ...I’d like to have it packaged for Void Linux... :)
-
...great work ...! I was looking for something as simple and extensible as
mkws, after trying other Static Site Generators like hugo, zola, ... often great but too difficult to customize
