Cobalt is a straightforward static site generator written in Rust, inspired by Jekyll. It converts Markdown and template files into a complete static website via a simple CLI.

Use cases

• generate a static blog from markdown files
• build a personal website without a database
• replace jekyll with a faster rust tool
• set up a documentation site with CI deployment
• create a simple portfolio site from templates

When to choose

• you want a fast, minimal Jekyll-like static site generator
• your workflow is Rust-based or you want a single binary with no runtime dependencies
• you deploy static sites via CI like Travis or GitLab CI

When to avoid

• you need a large plugin ecosystem or themes like Jekyll/Hugo offer
• you require JavaScript-based build pipelines or React integration
• you need dynamic features beyond static output
