HyperTemplates
Designing a static-site generator for iPhone
What if posting to your website was as easy as sending a text message or posting on social media? That's the question that got us started down the path that ultimately became HyperTexting.1 Today we want to share a sneak peak at the HyperTexting publishing experience and take a closer look at what it means to design a static site generator for iPhone.
Our mission with HyperTemplates and HyperTexting is to
make it easy to @makehypertext.com.
Here's what it looks like to post content to your website using HyperTexting:

Introducing HyperTemplates
TL;DR: HyperTemplates is a pure-HTML templating system and static site generator. It was designed with the goal of making it easier to make websites, nay, @makehypertext.com. The HyperTemplates CLI (
hyperctl) is available to download for MacOS and Linux starting today, and Windows releases are available in early access.
Two things happen very early on in a persons journey to learn HTML – they create their first web page (!), and eventually they create a second. The moment that second page exists, the seemingly simple journey becomes a lifelong quest to find the best templating system to keep some portion of two or more web pages in sync.
If you have discovered templating solutions you actually enjoy using, this post might not interest you, and that is OK! Go forth and make hypertext! For everyone else, welcome. 👋
