Webifier

What it is

Webifier turns repository content into a static website. You keep writing Markdown, notebooks, YAML, HTML, PDFs, and assets where the work already lives; Webifier follows the links, renders the reachable pages, copies the assets, and produces the site.

The point is not to replace full frontend frameworks. The point is to remove the publishing overhead for evolving project content: write the result, commit, push, and let the website update in a readable format.

Getting started is one install command or GitHub Action away:

pip install webifier

For repository automation, see the installation and GitHub Actions guide.

Add the action once, then let your project website evolve with the content. This documentation is built with Webifier and can serve as a working example for organizing a small docs site.

Start building

This website is built with Webifier, so it is also a compact working example: Markdown files live under pages/, the homepage decides where they appear, and the build turns those links into pages.

Collaboration

Webifier is most valuable when it lets people share work without building a website by hand. Contributions are welcome around templates, examples, notebook rendering, documentation patterns, and repository workflows.

See the collaboration page for concrete ways to help the project, share feedback, or shape useful extension examples.

The website itself is intentionally small and source-driven, so it can be refactored into a clearer example as Webifier improves.
