Why Original impetus: Server crashed leading to a lost web folder which contained manual-ish copied html files / pandoc'd wiki articles; many gone, post-crash Wanted something to republish markdown articles from my wiki to static html files, and update an article index Grew tired of my old website, mostly due to the markup—but honestly also the design What plain revolves around converting individual markdown files into a network of html pages, focusing on frictionless use. Aside from markdown manipulation, plain enables you to copy entire directories into your webroot while also connecting the copied directory to your other pages. You can author conceptual articles in markdown, while being free to mix in the occasional bespoke page, when the mood/humor/fever strikes. Additional capabilities of plain include generating rss feeds for discrete website categories, highlighting articles in the header nav, creating link-only article dumps, automatically generate opengraph images for no-effort social media link previews.
