Just run `marmite` on a folder full of markdown files and get a full website/blog running in seconds. "I'm a big user of other SSGs but it is frequently frustrating that it takes so much setup to get started.

My goal is for it to be as easy to use as Substack or Medium, while providing all the benefits of a static site generator including openness, simplicity, speed, security and ownership. It handles most things that you'd need from a CMS, including…
