Phantomake is a file-focused static site generator. PhantoGUI is a desktop application that allows you to use Phantomake without having to go through the terminal.

The first release of PhantoGUI lets you start a preview server or publish a build of your website to a folder on you local filesystem. In the future, I plan to add extra functionality on top of what the CLI already provides, including:

  • Publish directly to a Neocities account
  • Starter templates to kickstart your new website with basic features like a site-wide template or blog listing.
  • Anything else people can convince me is worth adding

PhantoGUI is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. You can grab it from the Downloads page on the documentation site.

You can keep up to date with Phantomake releases post-Cohost by following me on Mastodon. You can also message me there or in the GitHub issue tracker if you have questions, bug reports, or feature requests.

Small note: I can't be arsed to pay $100 a year to Apple and Windows for a dev certificate so the apps are unsigned and your operating system might need some gentle persuasion to run it the first time.

Thanks for using Phantomake.

hi im making fucked up ejs templates for myself >:)

idk if it's something that everybody has access to but the github "discussions" tab would be a nice place for me to dump my snippets if it were turned on

I saw someone talking about this in the past—on macOS you should be able to sign it with a certificate of your choice which bumps it up a security level (but still below the “recognized cert” level). You can generate a code signing cert in Keychain Access and use that for signing if you ever feel like bothering.
