## What it is
Expose is a Bash-based static site generator that turns folders of images and videos into photoessay-style websites. It requires only Imagemagick (and FFmpeg for video) and outputs a static _site directory with themes and YAML-based text metadata support.

## Use cases
- build a photo essay website from a folder of photos
- create a photography portfolio static site
- publish travel photos and videos as a blog
- generate a Medium-style photo gallery site
- wrap text around shapes in a photo layout
- organize nested photo folders into a navigable site

## When to choose
- you want a zero-config photoessay site from a directory of images
- you prefer simple Bash tooling with minimal dependencies
- you need both image and video support in a static gallery

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose static site generator with plugins
- you're on a system without Bash, Imagemagick, or FFmpeg
- you want dynamic features like comments or a CMS
