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.

Glyph processes documents at V8 speeds — individual markdown pages compile in under 10ms, and complete directories are built into a self-contained production-ready output folder in less than 50ms.

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

And the entire docs folder is transformed into static HTML, CSS, and JS ready to deploy anywhere.

Instant indexing without database services.

Most modern portals require complex external search indexes like Algolia. Glyph completely eliminates this need.

During compilation, Glyph extracts metadata, titles, descriptions, and plain text from your pages and packs them into a lightweight local JSON index. Users get high-performance fuzzy matching on-the-fly entirely client-side.

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 a silent sub-50ms rebuild, instantly updating the browser on save.

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).
