--- title: Melissa Nunnink toc: false --- {{< callout type="info" >}} **Hey!** This page is a work in progress. If you'd like to assist in the process of writing sections, take a look at the [git repository](https://git.myco.systems/mycosystems/midtowndrafting.com) {{< /callout >}} Hextra is designed to be a simple, fast, and flexible theme for building modern static websites. It is especially well-suited for documentation websites but can also be used for various types of sites, such as blogs, portfolios, and more. Hugo, like Jekyll, is a static site generator. What sets Hugo apart is that it is a single binary, making it easy to install and run on various platforms. It is also extremely fast and reliable, capable of rendering a site with thousands of pages in milliseconds. Hextra is built with a mindset focused on having a minimal footprint. To get started, no extra dependencies like Node.js packages are required; all you need is a single YAML configuration file, along with your Markdown content. Thus, we can focus on writing quality content instead of setting up tooling. ## Credits Hextra cannot be built without the following tools and inspirations: - [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) - [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) - [Heroicons](https://heroicons.com/) - [Nextra](https://nextra.vercel.app/) - [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/)
