Build docs that stay fresh

Built for speed

aphid is written in Rust which is blazingly fast and allows fearless concurrency. As a result rendering your site is multithreaded to utilize all cores of your CPU and be really quick.

The Dev server rebuilds run on the rayon threadpool while tokio keeps serving HTTP and WebSocket traffic. File-change reloads land before you’ve switched windows.

Simple project structure

Keep content and configuration in one clean directory. aphid watches for changes and rebuilds only what’s needed. The same Markdown drives the blog, the wiki, and standalone pages — and [[wiki-links]] resolve across all three.

Flexible theming

Themes are plain Tera templates plus static assets — swap the entire look with a single theme line in aphid.toml, or fork the default and tweak. Loops, conditionals, and inheritance give you full control over the rendered HTML.
