html.earth
a tiny static site generator for writers
html.earth is a tiny site generator that converts Markdown input to HTML pages. It comes with a front matter editor, custom styling field, and import & export options.
Hey folks,
I'm excited to introduce html.earth - a simple site generator for writers.
Video demo: https://youtu.be/i3Y4Eg48qfQ
Just write your articles and pages in Markdown format. As you type, you get a live preview of how your content will look. The tool has built-in styling options to customize the CSS. You also get a front-matter editor to manage SEO and social media metadata.
And once you finish editing, you can export your content as .HTML or .md. You could also import your HTML or markdown as the primer while retaining its meta-data.
👇 bare minimum features
✅ markdown editor & live preview
✅ HTML preview
✅ front-matter editor
✅ word-counter
✅ export to .html or .md
✅ import .html or .md while retaining the metadata
🤔 Why html.earth?
The main philosophy behind html.earth is that creating simple web pages should be as direct and low-friction as possible. Too often, perfect content goes unpublished or lost because the hurdles of software, platforms, and technical skills get in the way.
Another key idea is creating evergreen HTML content that stands the test of time. By generating standard HTML and CSS, the sites created with html.earth should remain accessible even if the tool or its hosting platform disappears someday.
If you enjoyed using other static site generators but found them too tech-heavy, give html.earth a try. Here's a demo article created using the tool: https://html.earth/a-reactjs-nig... (served by Cloudflare Pages).
@jotzilla congratualations on the launch. Love the work, I'm a heavy user of second brain on markdown files for projects and would love to share a "section" over slack or something. Would be great if you could host or open-source a part allowing others to "serve" up pages that are one-time use or even temporary shares like Dropbox links. Keep up the work!
@koconder Hi Vincent, Thank you for the feedback and suggestion. I originally kept the product simple to focus on the core capabilities - but your feedback proves what additional features would provide the most value. Expect to see an update enabling this within the next week.
@jotzilla you've just released an amazing tool specifically tailored for writers! It's great to see so much dedication and hard work, and it is sure to be a hit. Well done!
