Is it safe and secure? It should be. Apart from examining to the code, developers can use third-party tools such as Socket to check the code’s integrity (if the indicators are not showing 100%, then please contact the author).

For familiarization with the project, it is recommended browsing the ‘in depth‘ sections, especially the architecture and workflow. Whilst a phased approach is standard in most static site generators, the tasks here are quite different; rather than instantiating content templates, much of the effort here is about post-processing and adding a relatively small number of additional components.

It is currently just a prototype with many possibilities for further development. Even so, it already has a lot of functionality and serves my needs. Whilst I would be happy to see its continued development, especially in relation to the Wayback Machine, without investment, I am unlikely to have much more time to devote to it.

So, if anyone is interested in getting involved, particularly with a view of progressing the project towards being production-ready, then please get in touch.
