Author here, this was an easy project that was heavily inspired by the way I implemented my personal website. The rendering-via-template-strings experience has been really fantastic, and I just wanted to take the extra step of bringing it into the realm of sheer delightfulness and allow people to use it without even bootstrapping an Express server. The entire thing is one 50-line JS file so it should be easy to follow if you feel like seeing how it works.
I'm happy to take suggestions or PRs regarding bugs, additional features, or things that PHP does and this doesn't do. I want to keep it narrowly focused on providing the simple user experience it provides, but outside of that I'm happy to make it more capable for people who want to use it to build real sites.
Edit: I also just realized I forgot to publish it on NPM! So I guess for now the instructions don't work as-is (you can still clone it and run it locally). I'll publish it tonight after work.
