## What it is
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

## Facets

- domain: web-development, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform, cli, rust
