An extremely simple tool for spinning up websites

Hi there,

Thought I'd share this with the community in case it helps others.

Earlier this year, I was looking for the easiest way to put up a basic website. I'm familiar with WordPress and JS frameworks, but I just didn't want to deal with updating plugins, npm libraries or anything more than the simplest deploy process.

I wanted to be able to jump back into the code 5 years from now and not have to worry about re-orienting myself or wondering whats out of date. But simply uploading HTML files with some CSS/JS wouldn't be great either, because then I'd have to change X number of pages in order to update a header or footer.

I couldn't find anything! So I just built this simple reusable project skeleton that uses only one npm templating library (Nunjucks) :

Been using it for a while now and it's great. I have a script that pushes it up to s3 for static hosting (happy to share this too if anyone wants)

I hope it helps you! And if you have any suggestions or want to help me improve it, feel free to reach out. Also would love to hear if something better already exists!
