KiSite, static site generator built on KiCanvas

[hmcty]

Hey all.

Just wanted to share a project I started hacking together, KiSite.

My goal was to have a single link for multiple KiCAD designs that I could send to reviewers. I've seen projects like KiCAD-PRISM, but didn't want to incur the overhead of self-hosting, authentication, etc.

What I have so far:

• NPM package with CLI to scan for projects and generate static site assets
• CI examples for easily adding new hosts/workspaces via GitHub Pages
• Ability to create links with marker location (e.g. for referencing in design review)
• Rendering of adjacent documentation (useful for sharing datasheet specs, recommended layouts, linking to other boards, etc.)
• Archive download links for each project

I haven't used it in design reviews yet, but has already been handy when I need to quickly check part numbers, pad location, etc.

You can checkout the demo site here: https://hmcty.github.io/kisite/ (just a few open-source KiCAD projects for example).

Wanted to see if others have any use for this / general feedback. Also let me know if overlapping project already exists.

Thanks again for all of the work on KiCanvas.
