FilePress

FilePress turns a folder of Markdown posts into a fast, prerendered site. You write in plain files with YAML frontmatter, commit them to git, and build with the filepress CLI. There is no admin UI, no database, and no server at runtime.

How it works

1. Keep posts in posts/*.md and evergreen pages in pages/*.md.
2. Declare site identity in filepress.config.ts.
3. Run filepress build — SvelteKit adapter-static writes a deployable build/ folder.

Edit on a laptop, on GitHub’s web UI, or from your phone. Push when you’re ready. The next build is the site.

Start here

• Getting started — install getfilepress, scaffold a site, run dev and build.
• Import — crawl an existing public site into a FilePress content tree.
• Writing — essays and walkthroughs from the FilePress team.
• npm: getfilepress · GitHub: Catalyst-Forge-LLC/filepress

What you get

A reverse-chronological index (or a custom home page like this one), per-tag archives, RSS, sitemap, robots.txt, and a quiet Essay theme you can override with a site-root theme.css. Optional Genie Mode helps you tune look and feel in local filepress dev — it never ships in production builds.
