Hi, this is a project I've worked on for a little bit.

scaff is a static site generator aimed to be as simple as possible. In it's current state, it just generates webpages with no extra frills. You create your templates in Go templated HTML, add your assets, write your pages in Commonmark, and you do not have to do anything else.

I am open to comments about the project being posted here or on repository's issues.

Using static site generators made me stop worrying - it doesn't matter how bloated, lightweight, slow or fast the software is - as long as it produces static HTML that even the dumbest server can serve.

That said, does your software offer things like pagination, page metadata that can be iterated over, etc.?

I do not think I've gotten as far as pagination, but I assume you mean the frontmatter you see at the top of the pages. I have added that, as it comes with goldmark-meta. Feel free to check out the examples/ folder. :3
