Rino.js 3 Offers HTML-First Static Site Compilation Without Frontend Frameworks
Rino.js is an open-source static website compiler that treats plain HTML as the primary authoring language, eliminating the need for frontend frameworks or custom templating systems. Announced on DEV Community, version 3 of the tool supports features such as reusable HTML components, Markdown rendering, TypeScript, CSS and JavaScript bundling, internationalization, content collections, RSS feeds, and sitemap generation. Projects are initialized via npm create rino@latest, producing a lightweight folder structure where only the directories a developer actually needs are required. The compiler processes HTML pages and components at build time, outputting fully static files with no runtime dependencies. Rino.js is aimed at developers building static sites, blogs, documentation, portfolios, and other content-driven projects who prefer minimal toolchain complexity.
