Snapsite

A lightweight static site generator that converts Markdown files into a fully functioning website, with no web development knowledge required.

Why?

I needed to create multiple simple websites but WordPress and other CMS platforms were overkill, required databases, and constant maintenance. I built this static site generator that takes Markdown files and generates clean HTML - now I can create and deploy websites in minutes with just text files.

Quick Start

1. Install dependencies:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

2. Clone and run:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/static-site-generator
cd static-site-generator
./main.sh

3. Your site will be generated in the public folder

Usage

1. Write your content in Markdown files in the content directory
2. Add any images/CSS/JS files to the static directory
3. Run ./main.sh to generate your site
4. Deploy the public directory to any web host

Supported Markdown Features

• Headers (# h1, ## h2, etc)
• Bold text (bold)
• Italic text (italic)
• Code blocks (code)
• Links
• Images
• Lists (ordered and unordered)
• Blockquotes (> quote)
