Zine is a fast static site generator written in Zig that turns Markdown-based content (SuperMD) and HTML templates (SuperHTML) into static websites. It features an instant-rebuild development server, structured content authoring, i18n support, and build-time error checking for malformed HTML.

Use cases

  • build a personal blog with a static site generator
  • generate a documentation website from markdown files
  • create a static site deployable to GitHub Pages
  • run a local dev server with instant rebuilds on save
  • publish a project devlog with RSS feed
  • build a multilingual static website

When to choose

  • you want extremely fast full-site rebuilds and instant live preview
  • you prefer structured content authoring over Hugo-style shortcodes
  • you want templating that catches malformed HTML at build time
  • you're starting a simple or medium-complexity personal site or blog

When to avoid

  • you need full feature parity with Hugo or Jekyll today
  • your site requires complex plugins or a large ecosystem of themes
  • you need guaranteed stability as Zine is beta software with breaking changes
  • you want a JavaScript or Python-based toolchain
