Pico

Calling Pico a CMS is an over-statement, being more a static site generator more than anything else.

Pico works by reading a PHP template created with Twig, parsing the appropriate Markdown file and inserting the content inside the proper placeholders.

This way simple structured sites can be configured based on a local file system, and the content can be added using a simple text editor instead of dabbling around inside a backend.
