The record

Product: Lume is a static site generator for Deno.
Template formats: It supports Markdown, YAML, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, Vento, and Nunjucks, and can be extended with more formats.
Data sources: Sites can store data in static formats such as JSON or YAML or use JavaScript or TypeScript to get data from a database or API.
Processors: Processors can transform HTML and assets such as CSS or JavaScript.
Plugins: Its plugin system adds functionality and format support, including tools for CSS, image processing, SEO, internationalization, and template engines.
Default plugins: Plugins installed by default include support for JSON, Markdown, ESM and TypeScript modules, pagination, search, URLs, Vento, and YAML.
Client-side output: Lume says it exports your code without generating extra client-side JavaScript.
Dependencies: Lume uses Deno and HTTPS imports to download only the dependencies a project uses.
Deployment: The documentation describes deployment through GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Codeberg Pages, Deno Deploy, Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, and other hosts.
Deployment limits: Lume generates static websites; its documentation says it can only generate static websites.
Security: Lume's documentation says static sites have no server-side logic or endpoints to exploit, and describes them as more secure than dynamic sites.
Content ownership: Lume stores content in repository files such as Markdown, YAML, or JSON rather than a remote database, making it accessible to modify, export, or move.
CMS options: The documentation recommends LumeCMS and Decap CMS for static sites and says CloudCannon supports Lume.
Support: The project directs users to its Discord for help and ideas.
