Overview

hyde in a nutshell

Hyde is a static website generator written in python. While Hyde took life as awesome Jekyll's evil twin, it has since been completely consumed by the dark side and has an identity of its own.

Hyde desires to fulfill the lofty goal of removing the pain points involved in creating and maintaining static websites.
