In goes content, out comes a website, ready to deploy.
Static websites are safer, use fewer resources, and avoid vendor and platform lock-in. You can read more about this in the Nikola Handbook.
It has many features, but here are some of the nicer ones:
- Blogs, with tags, feeds, archives, comments, etc.
- Theming
- Fast builds, thanks to doit
- Flexible
- Small codebase (programmers can understand all of Nikola in a couple of hours)
- reStructuredText or Markdown as input languages.
- Easy image galleries (just drop files in a folder!)
- Syntax highlighting for almost any programming language or markup
- Multilingual sites
- Doesn't reinvent wheels, leverages existing tools.
