24 alternatives to Personal Site, and the Static Site Generator I Wrote to Build It

Hi HN, This one's a twofer. First, I'm showing off my personal site and blog, garrettgoss.com [1]. I'm looking to make a career change — from biomedical engineering/biomedical research, to research and development engineering in the consumer product development/additive manufacturing space — and felt that my prior work experience inadequately reflected my true interests and skills, which are better exemplified by my side projects. I put this together for myself, to better document my own work, for the broader internet, to share some of the projects I've developed to those who might…

This project comprises a personal portfolio site and a custom static site generator built to power it. Created by someone transitioning from biomedical engineering to consumer product development and additive… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Hello, my name is Caleb. I'm a product manager by trade, and have enjoyed working in/around the software industry over the past 15 years. I was most recently CEO & co-founder at Sensu (https://sensu.io), which was acquired by Sumo Logic in 2021 (https://sumologic.com), eventually resulting in an opportunity to explore "funemployment". I've met so many people over the course of my career who are interested in making websites – they even teach themselves HTML, CSS, and Javascript – but then they never end up making a website for one reason or another. I've watched some…

    `pandoc-sitegen` uses pandoc and mustache templating to turn a bunch of markdown files into a minimalist site, while still allowing for things like an automatic list of blog posts. I was really frustrated with the complexity of most existing static site generators like Jekyll and Hugo -- it seemed like even a basic blog required an immense amount of configuration and provided tons of features I didn't need. I built this mostly for myself, but I'd love any feedback on it :)

    Hi. I built rezume.page. Similar to any other student, I had assignments, deadlines, projects and everything else. Focusing on these didn't allow me to allocate time for the future. You can't get more hours in a day, but you can use the hours given to you more efficiently. Using Rezume, you can build your personal portfolio page (your Rezume page!), a well-formatted resume PDF, and a shareable link in bio, all at the same time. You can also use AI to automatically enhance your resume. Whether it's an internship, a job, or any other prospect, you're always prepared. Rezume is your link in…
