taxus

Static Site Generation for 2026 and beyond

Building for the web has become unnecessarily difficult. Taxus is an opinionated take on making it easier. It takes in assets and markdown and outputs a fully complete website, ready for deployment.

Pillars

Taxus stands on the following pillars:

• Author with power — write with CommonMark-compliant markdown, via pulldown-cmark. Learn more →

• Structure is easy and familiar — HTML templates with Tera. Learn more →

• Appearance is yours to determine — flexible SCSS compilation with grass. Learn more →

• Interactivity is simple, performant, or both — JavaScript via ready-made scripts.js, or WebAssembly via the "islands" architecture with Yew components. Learn more →
