24 alternatives to Python Static Blog Generator

Dear reader, Just over a year ago I started on a static blog generator. First in Perl, but soon I wrote a Python version as well and kept developing both versions in parallel. I have been using this program to generate my own tumblelog, https://plurrrr.com/, which has been up and running for over a year with daily posts (please check it out). It's a good example of how a blog generated with the program looks. The software comes with 10+ templates so you are not stuck with the same look as Plurrrr. Please check it out: https://github.com/john-bokma/tumblelog…

    Hi HN! This is my pet project, written from scratch because there is so much to discover and learn in the process. The focus is on simplicity and incremental updates. Progress is slow because I do not have much spare time to work on this, but I would love to hear some feedback. Regards

    There are a lot of Python to web app frameworks going around these days but I wanted something that was a little more lightweight that just generates HTML pages and can be embedded in Flask or other Python web servers incrementally. PyVibe uses Python components to construct a page with styling that you can use in Flask, in a static site, or even in Pyodide.

    hey yall, I made bearclaw because I just wanted an unopinionated static site generator with no toolchain and fancy stuff going on; it'd be my pleasure to show it to you today and answer any questions you might have. If you do end up trying out bearclaw, you can use nginx or your favorite webserver. Earlier this week I made eclaire - a static site webserver with compression, caching, and automatic HTTPS through letsencrypt. https://github.com/donuts-are-good/eclaire
