mkws(1)

I only created https://mkws.sh/ for duplication and templates. Those are the only problems it solves. I think it's portable enough.

Pages CMS

Static site generators are very simple... So not really understanding what they are getting at. And for all the people who seem to struggle with writing markdown files or using a static site generator check out pagescms: https://pagescms.org/.

Astro Build

Astro [0] a relatively new static site generator. It solves all of the issues I've had with SSG's that feel heavy, like Gatsby. Astro only as complex as you make it. It lets you write JSX-like syntax that compiles to static HTML. I use it for my personal site. [0]: https://astro.build/.

Pelican

As the maintainer of the Python-based Pelican static site generator for over a decade, I can say with confidence that my experience has been nothing like what is described in this article. Most of Pelican’s code was written by other people, and yet I have spent almost zero time debugging that code, much less my own. After taking advantage of Pelican’s rich plugin ecosystem and adding a handful of useful plugins, I continue to be amazed by how much time this publishing system saves me, and how little time I must spend to keep everything running smoothly. What it would take to accomplish this by writing HTML by hand instead… I simply can’t fathom it. But once again, that’s just one person’s experience, and YMMV. [0]: https://getpelican.com.
