Hi HN,

I've been frustrated with static site generators that pile on features like tags, themes, plugins, and endless configs just to get a simple blog running. So I built *BoumWave*: a dead-simple CLI tool that converts your Markdown posts into HTML using your own templates. That's it. No bloat, no learning curve—just pure, fast blogging.

*What it does:*

- *Markdown to HTML, done right*: Write posts in Markdown, generate clean HTML with automatic SEO (Open Graph, Twitter Cards, JSON-LD, canonicals).

- *Multilingual from the start*: Native support for multiple languages. Create posts in one command, and it handles the rest.

- *Full template control*: Use your own HTML templates. It auto-inserts posts into your index between `<!-- BOUMWAVE_POSTS_START -->` and `<!-- BOUMWAVE_POSTS_END -->`.

- *Zero config hassle*: One `boumwave.toml` file with everything explained with inline comments. Init, scaffold, write, generate.
