In plain words

Urubu is a micro CMS for creating static websites organized by logical content relationships rather than publication dates. It supports flexible navigation features including navbars, table of contents sidebars, breadcrumbs, and pagers. Content is written in Markdown with wiki-style linking, while page layouts are defined using Jinja2 templates with per-page customization options. The tool integrates with Bootstrap for styling and is built on Python, offering Python hooks for extensibility.
