Comment on [Debian Stable] Which Static Blog Generator: blag, Jekyll, Hugo, Lektor, Pelican, staticsite?
A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 1 week agoMy runner up was Pelican, because I was fluent in Jinja2, but I didn’t want to mess around with the templates and Hugo’s were prettier.
I think you’re the first one mentioning Pelican. Apart from the theming, would you recommend it? I’m familiar with Twig.
needing to find a gallery component
Oh yes, that would also be relatively important to me. Again, does Pelican offer that?

There must have been a gallery component, since I only looked at generators that had one available.
Honestly, in hindsight the templates were really not a big deal. Just for fun, I tried converting the Hugo template I used to Pelican, and it was easy for me.
Pelican is solid and mature and I would use it, in hindsight. The only major flaws are that it's much slower (but makes up for it with incremental builds) and that the community is much, much smaller. On the plus side, Jinja2 is much, much, much better than Go templating (Hugo borrows from Go).
