What is You Don't Need WordPress?

"You Don't Need WordPress" is a static site generator aimed at providing a simpler alternative for building websites, without needing to rely on a heavyweight content management system like WordPress.

As a static site generator, it takes Markdown files and other content as input and builds a complete static HTML website that can be easily hosted on a simple web server or CDN. This makes the site faster, more secure, and lower maintenance than a dynamic CMS-powered site.

Some key advantages over WordPress include:

• No database required - Sites are pure HTML, CSS and JavaScript so easy to host
• Better performance - Static files are served fast
• Enhanced security - No backends vulnerable to exploits
• Lower cost - Can host on basic web servers vs resource-heavy PHP/MySQL hosting
• Easier maintenance - No plugins to update or backups required

The focus is on simplicity over features. So while WordPress offers countless plugins and customization options, this tool aims to do one thing well - quickly build fast, secure sites from Markdown and other static files.

So for bloggers, small sites, and web developers looking for a simpler alternative to WordPress, "You Don't Need WordPress" provides a solid static site generator option worth considering.
