Toto is a tiny (~300 sloc) git-powered blog engine built directly on Rack, storing articles as plain text files with YAML metadata and rendering them via ERB templates. It is designed for deployment on Heroku behind a reverse-proxy cache like Varnish, with no database or web framework dependencies.

Use cases

  • host a minimalist personal blog
  • publish blog posts from git
  • deploy a static-ish blog to heroku
  • blog without a database using plain text files
  • run a markdown-based blog on rack

When to choose

  • you want an ultra-minimal, git-driven blog with no database
  • you deploy to heroku and want HTTP caching-friendly performance
  • you prefer managing content as plain text files in version control

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained project - the last release was 2015
  • you want a modern static site generator with themes and plugins
  • you need dynamic features, a database, or a CMS admin UI
