Haiku is a work in progress and aims to be a static site generator which is highly configurable, expandable, and easy to use.

Haiku aims to work in two capacities:

• As a command line tool to convert haiku content into a static html site that can be served directly by servers like Apache or distributed on a CDN.
• As a mountable middleware or endpoint for node applications where content generation happens dynamically for development or ease of deployment to environments like Heroku.

Getting started

To get started you will need some content, you could crete this by hand but it is easier to user the haiku command-line tool:

haiku new myawesomeblog.com

This will create the necessary directory structure as well as some examples of content for pages and blog posts to get you started. From here you can edit and preview your content until you are ready to deploy.
