Yeah... I know, the name isn't that creative, but this is actually a new project I just published on GitHub! Come check it out at https://github.com/devils2ndself/SSGo
So... what does it actually do?
SSGo is a simple Static Site Generator (SSG) that can turn .txt files into proper and styled HTML files. You can either pass a single .txt file or a path to a folder, where SSGo will search and turn every .txt file into HTML.

Usage
ssgo --input [in] --output [out[
- Generate HTML from .txt file atin
path (can be a single .txt file or directory) toout

--output
is optional, default out isdist

- Display installed version of SSGossgo --help
