Why Nera
Nera turns a folder of Markdown into a fast static site. No framework lock-in, no heavy toolchain — a four-stage pipeline you can read in an afternoon, and a plugin system where every feature is a small, single-purpose package you opt into.

Nera
The lightweight, plugin-based static site generator
npx @nera-static/installer new my-site01
Markdown in, HTML out
Author content in Markdown with YAML frontmatter. Nera renders each page through a Pug layout you control and writes plain, fast HTML.
02
Plugins, not magic
Navigation, tags, search, pagination and more ship as separate @nera-static/plugin-* packages. Install what you need; ignore the rest.
03
Templates you own
Publish a plugin's Pug templates into views/vendor/ and style them from your own CSS. Nothing is hidden inside node_modules.
04
Zero build step
No bundler to configure. npm run build builds the site and npm run dev gives a live-reloading preview. Node ≥ 20 is the whole story.
