The Lens
Zine is a static site generator written in Zig that compiles your content into HTML with zero JavaScript runtime. No Node, no npm, no webpack. You write content in a custom markup language, define layouts, and it spits out a fast static site.
MIT license, very early. The pitch is speed and simplicity: the Zig compiler handles everything in a single binary. No dependency hell, no node_modules folder. Hot reload works during development.
Everything is free. No paid tier, no cloud offering. You get the full tool. Solo developers experimenting with Zig or wanting a minimal static site generator will find this interesting. Teams should wait; the ecosystem is tiny, documentation is sparse, and the custom markup language means your content isn't portable to Hugo or Astro if you switch later.
The catch: Zig itself is pre-1.0 and so is Zine. The community is small enough that if you hit a bug, you're probably filing the issue. If you need a production static site today, Hugo or Astro are safer bets. Zine is a bet on the Zig ecosystem maturing.
