A zero-setup static blog generator that converts Markdown to HTML and deploys automatically via GitHub Pages.
SkunkHTML is a static site generator that automatically converts Markdown files into a blog hosted on GitHub Pages. It solves the problem of complex setup and local tooling by running the entire build process on GitHub Actions, allowing users to simply write Markdown and push to GitHub.
Bloggers, developers, and technical writers who want a simple, maintenance-free blogging platform without installing or configuring local build tools.
Developers choose SkunkHTML for its zero-configuration approach and seamless GitHub Pages integration, offering a fully-featured blog (RSS, sitemap, themes, comments) with no local dependencies.
Markdown blog with GitHub Pages
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
No CLI or local dependencies needed; everything runs on GitHub Actions, as highlighted in the README's 'No build tools on your machine' claim.
Push Markdown to GitHub, and the site updates automatically via GitHub Actions, eliminating manual build steps.
Includes RSS feed, sitemap, SEO meta tags, and themes out of the box, reducing extra configuration.
Themes like Ocean and Terminal can be applied by copying CSS files, with automatic dark/light mode support.
The engine is ~400 lines of F#, making it lightweight and transparent, as stated in the README.
Customizing site settings requires editing SkunkUtils.fs, which may intimidate users unfamiliar with F#.
Relies entirely on GitHub Actions for builds, limiting offline previews and portability to other platforms.
Has fewer plugins and community themes compared to popular SSGs, restricting advanced functionality.
Uses client-side microlight.js, which might be less performant or feature-rich than server-side alternatives.
