Hexo VS Octopress

There's also hexo [1]. I saw that on Matt Klein's website [2] and the theme looked pretty clean. [1] https://hexo.io [2] https://mattklein123.dev/2020/03/08/2020-03-07-new-website/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

In my case, the latter is not possible because this blog is a static site, generated via Hexo and hosted on GitHub. It simply lacks a modifiable active server component. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

Previously I've used Nuxt2 and even sooner - hexo.io. Source: over 1 year ago

To make their creation easier, numerous open-source static websites generators are available: Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby, Hexo, etc. Most of the time, the content is managed through static (ideally Markdown) files or a Content API. Then, the generator requests the content, injects it in templates defined by the developer and generates a bunch of HTML files. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

There are also many alternatives for selecting Static-Side Generating blog framework such as Hexo, Gatsby, Next.js (more details here). We will pick Hexo as our framework because it is a fast, simple & powerful blog framework. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

[translated from Traditional Chinese] I think every Octopress user must have such troubles — as the number of articles increases, the speed of file creation becomes slower and slower. This site has grown to 54 articles, and it takes at least one minute to create a file every time. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

Jekyll is quite specific for blogs and I think theming or adding/removing features it is not going to be trivial. I remember there was this thing on top of jekyll (octopress) that was just a nightmare to configure, and that was because jekyll was just a very simple tool. Source: about 2 years ago
