Ask HN: Looking for the simplest static site/blog generator

I made this to generate simple blog content from my markdowns. Like a page of python.. https://github.com/mechregard/light-wait

If you really want to get barebones you don't even need a static site generator, a template management library like handlebars.js or Jinja2 will suffice: load html template, fill the placeholders, save the results to file and you have your static pages.

If all you want is simple pages why not use a simple html template?

>but not as huge as Hugo (pardon the pun)

The pun went right over my head, like a Pelican.

Can’t get much simpler than this: primo.af
