Hoast

Hoast is a simple yet versatile open-source data processor written in JavaScript for use with Node.js. It is designed to automate common tasks and increase the efficiency of data processing.

Hoast empowers users to automate various tasks using plugins. Currently, I use it successfully as a static page generator, where I write simple markdown pages that are automatically converted into a complete website or presentation slides.

In the past, I have successfully deployed Hoast to organize large quantities of files after a hard drive crash for an acquaintance, where the folder structure was lost. By intelligently extracting metadata and moving files, it was possible to automatically restore the correct structure.
