Goals and use cases

Ter tries to solve some specific use cases effortlessly, rather than being a full-fledged static site builder.

If any of the following sounds relevant, Ter might be for you.

Goals

• The filesystem is the navigation and organization method;
• Creating a new page (or section) should be as simple as creating a file (or directory);
• No bundled JavaScript -- it's just a bunch of hyperlinked documents, after all;
• Work out of the box, simplicity > customization.

Use cases

• A published personal wiki;
• A collection of Zettelkasten notes;
• A simple blog;
• Software documentation (just like the one you're currently browsing).

If you're looking for a more flexible static site generator, try something like 11ty or Astro.
