Tiny Static Kit (TSK)

Develop static HTML sites using JSX and TypeScript. Zero runtime. Zero framework. Zero hydration.

Why TSK?

You want a blazing-fast static site and actually enjoy writing it — reusable components, props, the good stuff?
That’s what TSK for.

I tried Svelte, Next.js, Remix, Astro, Gatsby… bro what the fuck are these frameworks even doing?

• Install 400 dependencies?
• Learn a new router, a new data-fetching paradigm, a new folder convention, a new religion?
• Ship client-side JS just to render text that never changes?
• Wait 40 seconds for dev server to restart because you finally centered a div?

It’s just a homepage, not Twitter!

TSK lets you write normal TSX components (the React syntax you already know), then compiles them to clean, minified, zero-JavaScript HTML in <100 ms.

Homepage. Portfolio. Landing page. Blog. Whatever.

Write it. Compile it. Throw it on any host. Collect profits.

Usage

Check the example folder. This is basically all you need.

One-command starter (recommended)

npx @borisevstratov/tsk init my-cool-site

Then just

cd my-cool-site
npm install
npm run dev     # hot-reload while editing (outputs to ./dist by default)
npm run build   # production build (use this one in your CI)

The artifacts will be placed in my-cool-site/dist/*.
Just open HTML in Chrome.
