Hermit is a simple and lightweight starting point for single page static websites.
Hermit is a small back-to-basics starting point for single page static websites. It aims to provide a fast and painless developer experience with live reloading from Browsersync and utility-first CSS support from Tailwind. Hermit allows developers to iterate quickly and ship as little code as possible to visitors. The theme does not require any build tools or packagers, making it easy to get started.
To install Hermit, you only need to install the dependencies required for working with and building your site. There are no additional libraries or frameworks shipped to production.
To get started, a Browsersync server is provided out of the box, allowing you to start coding in the browser quickly. Once you’re done with your development, you can build your site using the provided build command. This command minifies the HTML, purges unused CSS, compresses it with cssnano, and automatically cache busts the CSS file name.
After building your site, all you need to do is take the “dist” folder and upload it to your host of choice. If you want to preview your site, you can run a local server.
Additionally, it is recommended to generate your own favicons using a service like favicon.io.
