I created this project because I needed a generator for a static website - not just a blog.
To accomplish this, the website structure matches the source structure exactly. In a subdirectory, you use the index.md file to specify the content, either explicitly by listing it, or implicitly by specifying the ordering key and direction. A blog would be reverse order by date, but any other scheme is possible.
In addition, this structure makes it possible to refer to other pages in the project using a wiki-like syntax. Basically, Urubu resolves the Markdown syntax for reference links over the project, instead of just within a page. This is a unique feature afaik.
Furthermore, there is support for tags, search, and templating constructs within pages. And it works well with Bootstrap.
It works great for a number of sites that I manage.
This is very similar to Hugo http://gohugo.io, my current website solution. The content organization is virtually identical. The approach of viewing a website as more than a blog is the same. Hugo also benefits from tons of themes, a large community and a ton of additional features.
