bim

A content-first, convention-over-configuration static site generator written in Rust.

bim is designed to support blogs, digital gardens, code snippets, recipes, talks, and slides in a single coherent knowledge base.

Philosophy

• Markdown as the primary authoring format
• Filesystem structure as the source of truth
• No front matter - metadata from filenames and git
• Lenient behavior - warnings instead of hard errors

Quick Start

# Build the site
bim build

# Build and serve locally
