Weightless Python.
Built like wind.
Zero pip dependencies. 0.01-second builds. Pure standard library architecture for modern static sites.
Zero to Live in 3 Commands
No virtualenv setup. No pip installation. If your machine has Python 3, you are ready to compile.
# 1. Clone Kaze repository
git clone https://github.com/subimpact/kaze.git my-site
# 2. Enter project and run live development server
cd my-site && python3 dev.py
# 3. Compile instant static HTML output into dist/
python3 build.pyThe Cost of Modern Frameworks
Why pull hundreds of megabytes of nested packages to render static text and images?

Heavy FrameworksFour Architectural Pillars
Minimalist engineering principles designed for long-term operational resilience.
Zero Dependencies
Built 100% on Python standard library. No pip install, no virtualenv breakages, no upstream supply-chain risks.
Sub-10ms Compilation
Token substitution and native regex markdown parsing compiles multi-page sites in less than a single screen refresh.
Decoupled Editorial
Edit raw JSON and Markdown files directly in VS Code, Obsidian, or an optional zero-cost visual browser CMS.
Edge Static Security
Pure semantic HTML and CSS with zero server runtime or database vulnerabilities, cached globally at CDN edge.
How Kaze Operates
A transparent, deterministic data flow with zero hidden magic.
Content Layer
Site models and articles live as plain JSON and Markdown in the content directory. Edit in VS Code, Obsidian, or Sveltia CMS.
Template Engine
Pure semantic HTML5 templates using clean token substitution. No custom JSX compilers, no hydration overhead, no layout shifts.
Instant Compiler
The Python 3 standard library compiles the entire site, extracts tags, and generates dynamic sitemaps in 10 milliseconds.
Edge Deployment
Static dist directory deploys instantly to Cloudflare Pages edge network for global sub-20ms delivery and 100/100 Lighthouse scores.

The Architecture of Weightlessness: Why Python Standard Library Beats 800MB Node Modules
Modern web tools routinely pull thousands of transitive dependencies just to generate static HTML. Here is why Kaze returns to first principles.
Zero-Cost Git-Native Publishing: Decoupled CMS Without Server Lock-In
How Kaze decouples the editorial studio from the static generator, allowing teams to use Sveltia CMS, Obsidian, or VS Code interchangeably.
