HtmlpressHTML-first static site generator
What it is
An HTML-first static site generator. Write HTML pages, or Markdown, wherever they live in a project, and it turns them into one site: one layout, one theme, a navigation and a live-reloading dev server. One Rust binary, installed from npm, PyPI, crates.io or a script.
Why it exists
Most site generators ask you to learn a framework or a templating language before you write a page. A coding agent already writes good HTML, and so do people; the missing piece is everything around the page. Htmlpress supplies that and nothing else, so a page stays a page you or your agent can just write.
Our part in it
We maintain it, and its own documentation site is built with it.
What we build it on
Static and server-rendered sites running close to the user, and cheap to keep up.
One toolchain across every repository, so moving between them costs nothing.

We are a small team in Portugal, working London hours. A site, an app, an internal tool, or the platform behind them — start with a sentence about the problem and we will take it from there.
