Site Builder: from one Markdown file to a deployed site in three commands
Short summary
Dinghy collapses static site generation by removing Docusaurus boilerplate—one setup command launches live preview at localhost:3000, no package.json or configuration files required. It provides sensible defaults for documentation, blogs, and pages, with optional YAML configuration for deeper customization. Built-in S3 deployment automatically handles cache headers, gzip compression for text assets, clean URLs without .html extensions, and content-type-specific cache-control headers.
- •Single-command setup: 'mkdir src/pages', write one INDEX.mdx file, run 'dinghy site start' — live reload at localhost:3000
- •Zero boilerplate: Sensible defaults for docs, blogs, pages, and assets; optional docusaurus.config.yml for overrides
- •Smart S3 deployment: Automatic cache headers, gzip compression, URL normalization, and file-type-specific cache strategies
