Templates

Deployable starters: nesly new <template> copies one, and two or three commands later it is live.

Each template is a complete project in neslyhq/templates — read all of it before running anything. nesly new copies it into a fresh directory and prints the commands to a live URL.

A content site built with Astro and served as static files — no server process to keep alive, nothing to patch.
