nu is a simple static site generator written in C and intended for fast and easy creation of a blog-style website from markdown files (parsing done with hoedown) with low setup requirements (ie, ruby, python, nodejs are not needed).
The goal for nu is to be a simpler version of something like jekyll.
With the help of some scripts, nu can even be run automagically when you push to a repository to create a static website.
Interested in trying nu out? Great!
Check out the Getting Started page on the wiki.
It goes over installation and setup.
Want to contribute to nu? Great!
Here are some ways to help out:
- Use nu. By using nu, you'll be able to find issues that might not have been caught. If you come across an issue, take screenshots, attach files, and try to come up with steps to replicate the problem. Every bit of information helps!
- Contribute themes! nu has a couple of themes right now. Fork the repository and create your own themes, then create pull requests. The more themes and customization there is for nu, the more people may want to use it 😉
- Work on nu itself. If you're a C programmer (and even if you're not!), feel free to poke around nu's source code to try and fix issues.
