Bertrand

A simple WebAssembly blogging engine

Bertrand is a very simple dynamic site generator that renders markdown into HTML web pages directly in the browser using WebAssembly. It uses Yew as the framework for building a single page application, Handlebars and Rhai for templating and scripting, and pulldown-cmark for rendering markdown.
