Show HN: Designing a Static Site Generator for iPhone
4 hours ago
- HyperTexting is a static-site generator for iPhone that makes posting to a website as easy as sending a text or social media post.
- It is built on a Go-based CMS and templating engine, compiled as an XCFramework for iOS/macOS, and wrapped in a Swift package called HyperTextingKit.
- The app exposes SSG functions for technical users, including full-site builds with logs, achieving build times around 3ms per file on iPhone 16.
- HyperTexting supports incremental builds to generate only needed files, reducing work over slow mobile networks, and enables local preview via an HTTP server.
- It claims to be the first static-site generator for iPhone that embeds the backend directly in the app, avoiding reliance on external services.
