What stands out
A quick read of the recorded project description.
Does not use JavaScript
Includes static assets such as a 404 page, CSS and images
Can be combined with CGI and SSI on STM32 as a dynamic web interface
The README example occupies less than 6kB of flash in total
Color scheme references flatuicolors.com, and compression tools are suggested to reduce size
Template Details
webxi is an ultra lightweight website template for embedded microcontrollers, designed to make page files small enough to be hosted on devices with limited on-chip flash. The design targets given in the README are: index.html under 5kB, webxi.css under 5kB, and no JavaScript.
The template provides static assets such as an index page, a 404 page, CSS and images, and can be combined with CGI and SSI to serve as a dynamic web interface on devices such as STM32. The example in the README shows that a CGI interface with SSI enabled occupies less than 6kB of flash in total.
The README does not document specific framework versions, build toolchains, browser compatibility ranges or production deployment methods; its customization workflow depends on external tools (image compression, CSS/HTML compression) and on the makefsdata.pl script from the tutorial to convert the fs directory into C code.

Getting started & customization
Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.
- 1
The README does not provide complete installation or deployment steps, only the customization and conversion workflow
- 2
Customization can use flatuicolors.com color schemes, image compression tools, and CSS/HTML compression tools
- 3
The tutorial page provides the makefsdata.pl script, which converts the fs directory into C code reflecting the server root path
- 4
The README mentions the STM32 Nucleo F767ZI web server CGI + SSI tutorial as a reference

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

Source file / repository# webxi WebXi is an **ultra lightweight**, fabulous looking website template with focus on **low file size** to run on the limited memory size of embedded microcontrollers. --- ### Preface Embedded microcontrollers like the [`STM32F746zg`](https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32f746zg.html) usually have around `1MB` of on board flash. Altough an embedded system design might incorporate additional external flash memory, it is still desirable to have very compact files to host for performance reasons. #### Design Criteria | description | requirement | |:------------|:------------| | memory usage of `index.html` | `< 5kB` | | memory usage of `webxi.css` | `< 5kB` | | JavaScript | no | --- ### Screenshots   --- ### Metrics  --- ### Customization & Implementation - customize using a color palette [flatuicolors.com](https://flatuicolors.com/) - use an [image compressor](https://compresspng.com/) for Logos - use a [CSS minifier](https://cssminifier.com/) for the `webxi.css` - use a [HTML minifier](https://kangax.github.io/html-minifier/) - Tutorial for a CGI + SSI Website on STM32 [ausleuchtung.ch](http://ausleuchtung.ch/stm32-nucleo-f767zi-web-server/) The minifiers achieve up to 50% smaller file size! On the tutorial page you find a `makefsdata.pl` Perl script to transform the `fs` folder into `C` code reflecting the root path of the webserver. ``` opening root directory, found the following files and all subdirectories to process: 404.shtml css img index.shtml Processing directory css Adding files: webxi.css Processing directory img Adding files: logo.png Starting convert files to arrays process: Adding file: 404.shtml /404.shtml, Bytesread = 236 Adding file: index.shtml /index.shtml, Bytesread = 1525 Adding file: css/webxi.css /css/webxi.css, Bytesread = 1828 Adding file: img/logo.png /img/logo.png, Bytesread = 1785 ``` In total this example of a SSI enabled (dynamic) CGI Interface requires less than `6kB` of flash memory. --- #### Disclaimer > Do you miss something? Did you spot some webdesign specific bad practice? Unfortunately, I am no webdesigner. I challenge you to create other ultra-lightweight themes for Embedded Systems :) --- This Template is inspired by [Neumorphism UI](https://github.com/themesberg/neumorphism-ui-bootstrap) by [Themsberg](https://themesberg.com/).
