Comment on static website generator

I use Hugo, it’s not super complicated.
You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you wrote your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.
You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.
That’s about all there is to it, it’s a pretty minimalist static site generator.
Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.

The other advantage of Hugo is that it’s just a single binary executable. Using something like Jekyll means you have to manage a ruby environment over the long term. Which sucks. I’d recommend trying Hugo again and getting past the pain points.
