Reify is a microframework designed for building static sites without the use of templates.
It leverages an embedded domain-specific language (eDSL) to describe pages, allowing for a flexible and customizable approach to site creation. Content is managed using Markdown files with custom, arbitrary frontmatter, enabling easy content organization.
This is free and open source software.
