Phantomake is a static site generator that I've been working on for the past few weeks. It's a single binary with no dependencies that you can use to generate your website. It lets you apply templates to your HTML pages, reduce copy-pasting by reusing common snippets of code, convert markdown files to HTML, and more. You can use Phantomake on an existing static website without any extra setup and only generate the pages you need.
Phantomake is useful for almost any static site, but specifically made for indie web / small web sites that are already hand-writing HTML and want straightforward improvements like includes or pagination.
Because Phantomake is built with Bun, it is only available on MacOS and Linux for now—Windows will be supported as soon as Bun makes an official Windows release. Bun landed Windows support a while ago and Phantomake is now available as an EXE for running on the command line!
It's open source and available on Github. Bug reports or fixes are welcome!
Feedback wanted!
Phantomake is pretty fresh and I'm using it for my own site and the tool's documentation, but I would love any feedback on how good or bad it works for you! Feature requests are welcome, just keep in mind that the tool is intentionally simple and requests may not be entertained depending on their complexity.
But please, if you're interested, try it out and let me know if it helps you!
