Hyper 8 Video System _ 1.0 _ – A static site generator for video publishing
https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/
For screenshots, videos and written notes on everything that happened in these last releases, check out the rich release pages for 1.0 (https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/1.0.0/) and its equally feature-packed predecessors at https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/
These major developments in 2025 were made possible through a project grant from https://netidee.at, an open source funding programme by the austrian https://www.internetstiftung.at/ – thank you so much for supporting this work and enabling tools that benefit independent artists, communities and organisations worldwide!
I would also like to say a huge thank you to all of you out there already running your own Hyper 8 sites, testing, reporting, contributing, donating, giving feedback and being just all-out positive and supportive on this journey, it really means a lot to me and makes a big difference!
For this latest release, special shout-out to @branpos, @arnauld, @evilpeacock, @lminiero & @jpburstrom for helping out on these last meters!
1.0 is now out for all platforms and is accompanied by a new, video-augmented tutorial, completely overhauled documentation and more available packages than ever – Enjoy!
