Octopress VS MiddleMan

[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

Most of the Static Site Generators default to generating blog from markdown, which is not feasible for company websites etc. For such projects I like Middleman (https://middlemanapp.com) which provides layouts/partials and things like haml templates. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

I've done similar with Middleman, and I'm 99% sure you could set this up with Pelican if you wanted. It sounds like the site generation workflow is the issue rather than the tool. Source: 11 months ago

I use middleman[^1] + bulmaCSS + FontAwesome but host on github using the `github.io` domain and upload podcasts to "archive.org"[^2]. The reason I choose this setup is because I want the content to survive as much as possible, hence open source technology and "free & long lived" hosting were requirements.

Thanks u/Draegan88, but what's Middleman got to do with app architecture & design/ERD/schema design? Source: over 1 year ago

A simple middleman app consumes the data and builds a static export that runs standalone (just HTML, CSS and some JS files). That gets FTP'd/released to the webserver. Source: about 2 years ago
