I am just now writing a static site generator that generates a directory based website from a folder hierarchy. It is heavily inspired by gopher. No bling, no js (well, unintrusive js to make the directory listing sortable) and a focus on getting shit online. The pages are either plain text or generated through some templates using markdown.

I am in dire need to clean the code up, but I will put it on github sooner or later. It grew top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top without meeting in the middle :(

That sounds like Apache's default directory index

Well, I could smash my head bloody against mod_autoindex to make it present things the way I want.

Or I can spend 3 hours writing something that I don't have to think about ever again.
