Machete

Database-free PHP system that turns local folders of Markdown, photos, and videos into websites.

Webfree

Machete is an open-source, database-free PHP system for turning a local folder of files into a website. Point it at a directory of photos, videos, Markdown documents, or bookmarks, and it generates a photo gallery, video-sharing site, document/blog site, or link-navigation directory, organized purely by folder structure. It's aimed at people who want a simple self-hosted site without setting up or maintaining a database-backed CMS.
