The homepage of Pondent

Why Pondent?

A static site is a great way to make your site safer and more performant. Combine it with GitHub and you have a version-controlled directory you can access from anywhere.

The problem is how to update it?

Pondent provides a client-side utility for adding Markdown-formatted posts to a GitHub repository in a format perfect for static site generators like Jekyll and Hugo.
