#2Looks like a cool project. What made you choose to build this vs use an existing one like Pelican, Nikola, or Lektor?
Have you thought about integrating a bundler like Webpack or something similar, and also support for Sass?

#3I like that it has the syntex support which seem to fix some of Markdown faults related to HTML

#4I don't mean to detract from Ivy, but...
As an interesting aside, the fact that you can organise your pages in a hierarchy reminds me of cat-v's "werc" website framework[0]. It's not a static site generator, but it will read the directory and file tree into a navigation menu, so you can navigate the tree using a sidebar. It will render pages using markdown on the fly.
Perhaps the "killer feature" is that you can run multiple subdomains using one instance. If you configure your web server correctly, a request to x.y.com will serve the website stored in the x.y.com directory etc.
It's also very small and extensible.

#5http://mulholland.xyz/docs/ivy/themes.html is gorgeous on FF/Android.
I might replace my static blog script with this :)

On an iPhone SE it uses 25% of the screen on side margins, which is a bit excessive.

site.py # site configuration file
ext/ # extensions directory for plugins
inc/ # includes directory for menus, etc.
lib/ # library directory for themes
out/ # output directory for html files
res/ # resources directory for static assets
src/ # source directory for text files
What are the advantages of this over the other 1000000 static site generators?

Not sure but I tried Pelican recently and found it clunky. Perhaps not fair as I was comparing it to Sphinx which I've a lot of experience with and is quite advanced.

Never took a close look at werc. Pretty cool idea. I wish it were a more modern theme, but I'm guessing that can be changed/fixed easily. The idea stands and it's written in a simple way which is nice.

On the contrary, it appears hyper-organized.
