## What it is
Fiddly is a zero-config Node.js CLI tool that converts your Readme.md files into beautiful, static HTML pages with code highlighting, emoji support, and customizable themes. It is designed for quick project documentation pages that can be deployed automatically to services like Netlify.

## Use cases
- turn my readme into a documentation page
- generate a static html page from markdown
- create a pretty landing page for my npm package
- deploy readme as a website to netlify
- one-off html page from a markdown file with npx
- add code highlighting and dark theme to my readme page

## When to choose
- you want a zero-config, single-file documentation page from a README
- you need quick static output for Netlify or GitHub Pages deployment
- you want a lightweight alternative to full static site generators for simple docs

## When to avoid
- you need multi-page documentation with navigation and search
- you need a blog or full static site with layouts and content collections
- the project appears to be in maintenance mode with minimal recent development

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: static-site-generator, markdown, templating
- domain: documentation, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: readme-to-html, documentation-site, netlify, zero-config, code-highlighting, nodejs
