01. Why

You might know there already exist quite a lot of static site generators, why create another one? Because they were not good enough for Open Game Studio needs.

Here's a list of features we don't need:

№	Unwelcome feature	Note
1	Learning anything beyond HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Markdown	These technologies are enough to have a clean web site
2	Server side	Nobody should be able to pull the plug on you except yourself
3	Installation	No more forced updates that were never requested
4	Comprehensible source code	No more millions of source code files

02. Features

Consequently, here is a list of PSKOV features:

№	PSKOV feature	Note
1	HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Markdown	Just what you already know
2	Client side	PSKOV is a client side JavaScript application, it runs solely on your device
3	Available on-line	http://opengamestudio.org/pskov
4	Available off-line	Just save the Tool page and then open it locally
5	Comprehensible source code	PSKOV is a single HTML file
6	Belongs to everyone	PSKOV is released under CC0 license (public domain)
7	Runs for decades	You can use PSKOV on both Windows 2000 and Windows 2030*

* Windows 2030 does not (yet) exist, we simply refer to the fact that PSKOV is designed to work for operating systems released in the range of years 2000-2030
