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
