Simplified Saaze

Simplified Saaze is a fast, all-inclusive, flat-file CMS for simple websites and blogs. It comes with no graphical user-interface, but rather is used entirely via command-line.

Static site builders are fast but normally have a steep learning curve and require lots of tooling to make them work. We believe building a personal site should be stupidly simple. That's why Simplified Saaze is built on the following principles.

• Easy to run - All you need is PHP8, a C compiler, and Composer; no dependency hell
• Easy to host - Serve dynamically or statically
• Easy to edit - Edit content using simple Markdown files
• Easy to theme - Templates use plain PHP/HTML
• Fast and secure - No database = less moving parts + more speed, 30-times faster than Hugo, and 4-times faster than Zola
• Simple to understand - Everything is a collection of entries

Simplified Saaze is, as the name implies, a simplifed version of Saaze. For more info and documentation for the original Saaze see https://saaze.dev. Read Simplified Saaze for installation and usage.
