Ask HN: What is the easiest to use static site generator? I am trying to determine the easiest to use static site generator. I have found there are now several hundred static site generators and I understand most of these are forks of the main static site generators. By easiest I mean the most user friendly to set-up and create a site, best documentation, and has an active group of users/community. |
For Ruby: Jekyll http://jekyllrb.com or Middleman https://middlemanapp.com (in case you want a site rather than a blog) For Python: Pelican http://blog.getpelican.com
This one seems quite easy http://gohugo.io.
You download the built binary, no dependencies, lots of themes available. Had it working in a few minutes. (The git clone step didn't work for me but I just went to github and downloaded the zip.)
Disclosure: Olai is my baby.
If you are just getting started, you can read this tutorial I wrote for SitePoint:
Middleman is much easier than Jekyll if you want to build any kind-of normal non-blog website.
(or it was 15 years ago)
I was looking for the easiest-setup, operation, posting on web, updating content etc.
In this way I have only the preference of simple use.
jekyll documentation is good too.
it's quite easy
seems to fit with your needs.
