Minimal build and dev for really tiny HTML projects

pinto

what is it?

A minimal and zero-configuration tool for developing super tiny HTML projects, such as:

• quick experiments and prototypes — it’s easy to build and deploy
• student projects — the environment is almost non-existent
• super small sites — single page portfolio etc
• project documentation — by using pinto on your gh-pages branch

how do I use it?

$ npm install pinto -g # install the cli

$ pinto init src        # scaffolds the project in src/ folder
$ pinto dev src         # starts a dev src/
$ pinto build src dist  # builds a static page in dist
$ pinto preview dist    # previews the static page in dist

what it does?

Pinto creates a completely static html page from the following:

• A single CSS file
• A single JS file
• A handlebars template
• A JSON file that powers the handlebars template
• An assets folder for public images or whatever
