Build jamstack-style static sites in Haskell, with a live server supporting fast hot-reload in the browser on code or data change.

Ema

:::{.avatar .w-32 .h-32 .float-right} !favicon.svg :::

{.text-xl .mb-8} Ema is a next-gen Haskell library for building jamstack-style static sites. Ema sites are change-aware; in addition to good ol' static site generation, Ema provides a live-server supporting fast hot-reload in the browser, on code or data change.

{.text-gray-600} The ultimate purpose of ema is to facilitate creating with ease your own neuron,1 or just about any app that creates a browser view of arbitrarily changing data (on disk, database, or whatever). Ema is designed to facilitate creation of apps whose data is normally edited via traditional mechanisms (eg: text editor) but rendered as a delightful web page - so as to provide an economical read-only view of your data on desktop & mobile. A classic static site is just one type of such [kind]{title="See what we did there?"} of apps.

  1. This ultimate purpose is already realized in regards to neuron; see Emanote, which is built on top of Ema. ↩︎
