Hello!
Wanna make a website?
web-bud is a small static website maker built with Node. It has well-commented code, awesome limited features, and only one dependency, making it real simple to hack and work with!

Here's some cool stuff web-bud comes with:
- only one NPM dependency (chokidar)
- content in Markdown
- reusable HTML components
- uses vanilla CSS and JS
- CSS imports are combined in a single CSS file
- hash-based CSS name for cache busting
- basic templating features
- can inject data at build time
- live reload for comfy development

Improvements
These are some improvements and fixes I would like to implement long-term:
- fix live reload quirks
- more robust templating tags
- clean/simplify some code
- improve Markdown parser
- more config options (ex. provide your own language/parser)
