## Description

Publii is a local static site generator and offline content management system. It operates as a desktop application that renders content into HTML files on a local machine, removing server-side vulnerabilities and eliminating the need for a live database or active internet connection during the authoring process.

The system is distinguished by a focus on privacy and search engine optimization. It includes built-in tools for GDPR compliance, such as cookie consent management and the ability to restrict third-party embeds until user consent is provided. For visibility, it automates the generation of XML sitemaps, semantic URL structures, and structured data markup.

The project covers a broad range of site management capabilities, including a graphical content editor for rich media authoring, a template-based theme engine with fluid typography controls, and asset optimization tools that convert images to WebP. Site distribution is handled through a unified interface supporting various transfer protocols and Git-based synchronization.
