## What it is
Lume is a fast and flexible static site generator built for Deno, inspired by Jekyll, Hugo, and Eleventy. It supports multiple file and template formats (Markdown, YAML, Vento, Nunjucks, Liquid, JSX/TSX, Pug, Eta) and extensible asset processors like PostCSS and Terser.

## Use cases
- build a static site or blog with Deno
- generate a documentation site from markdown
- create a static site using JSX or TypeScript templates
- replace Jekyll or Eleventy with a faster Deno-based SSG
- build and deploy a site to GitHub Pages or GitLab Pages
- process CSS and JS assets during static site builds

## When to choose
- you already use Deno and want to avoid node_modules and bundlers
- you need flexible multi-engine templating (Markdown, JSX, Nunjucks, Vento, etc.)
- you want a fast, configurable Eleventy/Jekyll alternative
- you want built-in dev server with live reload and simple deployment to static hosts

## When to avoid
- your team is Node.js-only and unwilling to adopt Deno
- you need a large plugin/theme ecosystem like Hugo or Next.js
- you need server-side rendering with a runtime backend rather than static output

## Facets

- domain: web-development, frontend, documentation, developer-tools
