## What it is
Publish is a static site generator built specifically for Swift developers, where each website is defined as a Swift package configured with type-safe Swift code. It supports themes, plugins, and generates HTML, RSS feeds, and site maps with a single publish call.

## Use cases
- generate a static website using Swift
- build a blog with a Swift package
- create a static site with type-safe configuration
- generate RSS feed and sitemap for a website
- customize static site generation with Swift plugins and themes

## When to choose
- you are a Swift developer who wants to build websites in Swift
- you want type-safe, compile-time-checked site configuration
- you want a static site generator with built-in RSS and sitemap generation

## When to avoid
- you prefer JavaScript-based static site generators with large theme ecosystems
- you need a no-code or markdown-only workflow without writing Swift
- you need Windows support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: static-site-generator, templating, cli
- domain: web-development, developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: swift-package-manager, type-safe, rss-feed, sitemap, themes, plugins, macos, linux, swift
