What is Roq?

Roq is a static site generator that lets your ideas flow naturally.

Static sites are the best option for content-driven websites: SEO-friendly, efficient, and future-proof. But tweaking plugins, debugging upgrades, and fighting your tools shouldn't be part of the creative process. Roq opens a new path for static site generation with live-reload, type-safe templates, and an extensible plugin system.

Built with Java, powered by Quarkus.
