unrelated probably, but it made me realize how I don't really see Hugo/Jekyll type websites anymore.
Next.js sites are also a super easy find like this.
I found building my own custom one with python3, much more freeing in all sorts of interesting ways, I also exposed the static site generator with a FastAPI based API to auto build my website from my notes, my cooking recipes, database records, financials, git commits, etc to build me a private protected website (via nginx auth) from anywhere, whether via sending a text message to my telegram bot, or running a Shortcuts command on my iPad, or just directly running a command from my terminal.
It took barely a day to setup, and allows me to run interesting custom extensions in all sorts of interesting ways, and builds me a personal website curated to my interest, where the primary viewer is supposed to be me. and it exposes a public barebones website with barely any content for everyone else.
One of these days I think i’ll expose more of it to the world.
Has something overtaken Hugo and Jekyll in that space?
I maintain a blog on Hugo but also host a couple of Astro ones. I think Hugo is great but to my eyes at least Astro has more active development behind it, and I also enjoy it more (probably because I know Typescript more than golang)
Not sure if that fits the bill for you, but I like it.
