Satteri: A Markdown pipeline forged in Rust for the JavaScript world

Satteri is a Markdown processing pipeline built in Rust, designed to integrate with JavaScript tooling. It leverages Rust's performance to handle Markdown parsing and transformations, targeting the JavaScript ecosystem for improved speed and efficiency.

Background

Satteri is a static site generator (SSG) built in Rust that processes Markdown files into HTML, designed specifically for JavaScript/Node.js ecosystems. It's a response to the slowdown of Eleventy (11ty), a popular Node.js-based SSG whose development pace frustrated some users. Satteri aims to replace Eleventy by offering similar workflows (file-based routing, template languages) but with Rust's speed and reliability. Key context: many web developers use SSGs to build blogs, docs, and content sites; Eleventy was a dominant choice for its simplicity; Satteri represents a growing trend of rewriting JS developer tools in Rust for better performance.
