## Project history and usage

oranda is an opinionated static site generator for developer-tool landing pages. It is aimed at maintainers who want a project website, install page, changelog, docs rendering, and funding links without building a custom web app.

### Project history

axo announced oranda in 2023 as part of its release-engineering toolbelt. The announcement framed package registries and package-manager websites as distribution infrastructure, then positioned oranda as a package-manager-agnostic way to give developer tools a release-aware website.

The repository describes oranda as a static site generator for developers publishing projects who do not want to build a website from scratch. The README also documents a zero-config path, `oranda build`, plus optional `oranda.json` customization.

### Adoption history

oranda's adoption is concentrated in the Rust and developer-tool publishing ecosystem, reinforced by first-class integration with `cargo-dist`. The README says oranda can detect cargo-dist output and display installer scripts and platform support on generated pages.

The input metadata lists packages in Homebrew, Nix, and Scoop, matching its role as a release-tooling CLI that maintainers install locally or in CI.

### How it is used

Maintainers run `oranda build` to generate a site, or `oranda dev` to serve and rebuild during editing. With configuration, the tool can render README content, additional Markdown pages, install pages, changelogs, mdBook documentation, funding channels, and platform-aware install widgets.

The practical use case is distribution polish: make release artifacts, install commands, docs, changelogs, and project metadata visible from a static website that can be hosted on GitHub Pages or similar static hosting.

### Why package nerds care

oranda is package-nerd software about package nerds. It treats install metadata, release artifacts, changelogs, and package-manager affordances as first-class website content, turning what registries often provide implicitly into a portable static site.

### Timeline

- 2023-06: axo announces oranda as an opinionated static site generator for release-aware developer-tool landing pages.
- 2023 and later: The project documents cargo-dist integration for showing generated installers and supported artifacts.
- The Homebrew formula packages oranda as a CLI for generating landing pages for developer tools.

### Related projects

- oranda is closely related to axo's cargo-dist project, mdBook, GitHub Pages-style static hosting, package registries, and release automation pipelines.
