Gerbil 🐹

Gerbil is a "dynamic website generator", written in Nim. It is meant to provide many of the conveniences of static website generators (ease of content creation, deploying, and maintenance), but to also provide a customizable backend for dynamic features such as hosting user comments. It is flat-file based (no database used) by design.

The Gerbil binary can be used to scaffold and serve a site without writing Nim code, or the Gerbil library can be imported to create a customized backend.

Note: This is a new project and is still heavily in development.

Demo and Documentation

The documentation is here, and is composed and hosted as a Gerbil site (to demo how Gerbil works). The source of the site is in this repository.
