A small utility (and CLI) to import content files from various content sources. Requires Node 18 or newer.

  • Compatible: Works with a bunch of different data sources (see below) and more to come.
    • Export your entire WordPress site statically in a single command.
    • Show recent Bluesky or Mastodon posts on your own web site without an expensive third party embed component.
    • Make anything on the web into a CMS for your web site using Indieweb PESOS.
  • Clean: Converts imported content to markdown files in your repository (--format=html to use raw HTML).
  • Standalone: downloads all referenced assets (images, videos, stylesheets, scripts, etc) in content and co-locates assets with the content.
  • Resumable: Can stop and resume a large import later, reusing a local cache (with configurable cache duration)
  • Repeatable: avoids overwriting existing content files (unless you opt-in with --overwrite).
    • This allows you to continue using an import source for new content while editing the already imported content.
    • Use --dryrun for testing without writing any files.
