Title ..: A 100-Line Static Site Generator
Author .: staff
Date ...: 2026-06-28
Section : Code
============================================================================


The generator behind this site is plain Node. It scans a content folder,
parses frontmatter, renders Markdown, and writes HTML. That's it.
```js
import fs from "node:fs";
import matter from "gray-matter";
import { marked } from "marked";

export function renderEntry(file) {
  const { data, content } = matter(fs.readFileSync(file, "utf8"));
  return { ...data, html: marked.parse(content) };
}
```
No bundler, no hydration, no client framework. The only JavaScript that
ships to the browser is the stuff that actually needs a browser: the music
engine, the background cube, and the effects demos.
