Plain files, in git
Pages are Markdown with YAML front matter. There is no database to back up and nothing to keep running.
Writing content New: light and dark mode in every theme
Static sites from plain Markdown
Meteorite is a fast static site generator written in Rust. Write content in Markdown, configure with YAML, and swap themes in one line. No database, no runtime, no build chain.

Everything a site needs, nothing it doesn't
A single folder of Markdown and YAML in, a folder of static files out.
Themes that just plug in
A theme is a folder. Change one line and the same content renders with a different look. Your own templates override the theme without forking it.
Using themesFast, with live reload
Parallel builds, and rebuilds that only touch what changed while you edit. The browser reloads on save.
See the numbersCode that reads well
Build-time syntax highlighting with separate light and dark palettes, plus copy buttons. No client-side JavaScript required.
HighlightingSections, tags and pagination
Nested sections, taxonomies, menus, permalinks, data files, a table of contents and shortcodes are built in.
Organising contentSafe to publish
A link checker catches broken pages before your readers do, and the build refuses paths that could escape the output directory.
Security modelConfiguration you can read
One file describes your site
Everything lives in plain YAML next to your content. Pick a theme, set your menus, turn on feeds and search.
- Atom and RSS feeds, a sitemap and robots.txt, generated for you
- A client-side search index you can load from any theme
- Optional HTML and CSS minification for production
