I keep waiting for someone to write a program that consumes as input Markdown text and emits as output a pure HTML/CSS site literally like this http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ except with the text from the Markdown file instead of swear words. Maybe it could even accept several Markdown files and make them into blog posts or something. If nobody else does I guess eventually I'll get fed up and build it myself…
Instead of HTML/CSS why not parse markdown to a something even more direct like terminal output. My biddle application does this. Try it out let me know what you thing. Here are some commands to get started: git clone git@github.com:prettydiff/biddle.git cd biddle node biddle (parses the readme.md file to the terminal) node biddle get http://example.com/document.md node biddle markdown downloads/document.md node bidd…

Or just use jekyll. But it seems to purport to be different from jekyll, so I am not sure.
perhaps I didn't understand what jekyll was capable of. I'm going to have a proper look at all the tech suggested here.
I've learned a great deal reading these comments, so thank you for posting your project.

Do you cater only to blogs or to static website in general? I tried both Hugo and pelican but neither really supported general purpose websites. For example, https://hearthstonejson.com uses Jekyll and I haven't been able to move it.
Only blogs, I primarily build this for my own use.
Jekyll has a ton of issues but it gets it right at least: any page you make becomes a page on the site.
Congrats on the launch! I had an initial thought of coming up with a site like this, but decided that providing an open HTML platform was best (hence, https://neocities.org ). But I'm happy someone finally scratched the itch. Random thoughts: You're going to want to use subdomains for the sites, otherwise all sites are sharing the same domain security model, and you're going to run into problems when (not if , when )…
A year and a half ago, I was looking for a place that would allow me to host a single HTML page for free. A couple of shady free hosting sites later, I came across Neocities. It was a breeze to set up an account there and host a short story of mine in HTML format.
I found myself giving out the link to anyone who'd like to check it out, without needing to e-mail them a PDF (or even worse, a Word document). I like nice typography and readability so sending a simple text file was not the ideal option either. But a link to a page was perfect: it displays well on every device and the page can easily be updated. I wrote the whole thing in Markdown and hacked together a short script to generate HTML from it, which I could easily drag-n-drop to Neocities for quick iteration based on remote people's feedback.
I never wrote again, but if I did, I'd definitely use the same method. An open platform for HTML publishing is essential to keeping the spirit of the minimalist, hyperlink-driven Web alive.
So thank you for Neocities, and cheers!

even scale probably does not come into the picture.
is it stuff like custom domains (which i assume is nginx+lua magic)

Link to biddle!
This is excellent. There has been a lack of tools to solve this exact problem - wanting to get a basic site up very quickly and cheaply. Previously the best alternative was a free Firebase/Google account, and then setting up a HTML/CSS site, and deploying it. This is much faster. Thank you for building it! And please, don't be dissuaded by the other commenters. Sure, the market is much smaller than the market that Sq…
Sounds like you're looking for something similar to what i just released today. It's a service called Idnty and let's you create a simple and clean personal page in no time. No custom domains yet but it's in the pipeline. Please have a look, https://idnty.me
Just a thought, not sure if good or viable. But maybe let users buy their designs for self-hosting would be an idea.

Plenty of static site generators, as they're called, exist to do this. Good jumping-off points would be investigating Jekyll (written in Ruby) and Hugo (written in Golang). https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll https://github.com/spf13/hugo
