Glyph-CLI

Documentation should not require hundreds of megabytes of frameworks.

We believed that a simple wiki, developer guide, or API documentation portal should compile instantly and run without any external resource constraints.

That is why Glyph was built with zero dependencies. No Webpack, no heavy JavaScript runtimes, no complex bundlers. It is written using pure JavaScript to parse raw Markdown and MDX files into beautiful static pages.

A compilation pipeline built directly on top of V8.

Under the project's measured benchmark conditions, individual markdown pages compile in under 10ms, and typical documentation directories build into a self-contained production-ready output folder in under 50ms.

Simply run the command: node bin/compiler.js build

And the docs folder is compiled into clean static HTML, CSS, and JS ready for local use or web deployment.

Local indexing without external search services.

Most modern portals require complex external search indexes. Glyph eliminates external API dependencies.

During compilation, Glyph extracts titles, descriptions, and plain text from your pages into a lightweight local JSON index. Users get responsive fuzzy matching directly in the browser.

A reactive environment built for fast writing.

Running the preview server launches a lightweight HTTP listener at localhost:3000 and watches your source documents for edits.

By implementing a debounced file watcher, saving any file inside the source directory triggers an automatic local rebuild, quickly refreshing your preview.

Optimized layouts optimized for readability.

Featuring a built-in glowing dark theme, Glyph comes pre-packaged with modern glassmorphism sidebars, code highlight styling, page-to-page navigation pagers, and native support for GitHub-style blockquote alerts (NOTE, TIP, WARNING, IMPORTANT).
