Not sure if `blogdown` is known among wider audience. `blogdown` is an R package to generate static websites based on R Markdown and Hugo. So it couples the ease of using R markdown and speed/simplicity of HuGO. https://github.com/rstudio/blogdown But I'm not sure if a non-programmer would be interested in this just for blogging.
I was looking for one a while back and ended up making my own in PHP. I know it's not a popular language anymore but I have a PHP host where I put my websites and it's the quickest to get up and running for me. Anyway, it's on github https://github.com/sachleen/Steady and a website I made using it: https://github.com/sachleen/SacSciOly | http://sacramentoscienceolympiad.com I tried all the others and none worked for…
How I did mine with Github Pages and Pelican: http://bytepawn.com/how-to-make-a-blog-like-this.html
Hugo is pretty good. I've started using it for some project websites[1,2], though I don't use it for blogging. For my own website/blog, I wrote it from scratch using Flask[3]. [1]: https://rootlesscontaine.rs/ [2]: https://umo.ci/ [3]: https://www.cyphar.com/
Also, you've mentioned in the sidebar that you've built it using Grav and Hugo. Would you mind explaining how you've used both? And why perhaps? Just curious because someone here suggested Grav over Hugo and you seem to be using both.
I could make one with Django (overkill, I know) as I primarily work with it but I don't have a VPS set up yet and I don't think I'm going to attempt to get one anytime soon. The main reason why I wanted a static site is to not deal with configuring and maintaining the server. Thank you!
I've personally been meaning to rebuild my personal site with Next.js: https://github.com/zeit/next.js/ Used it to build a few static sites at work and have quite enjoyed it as you get to use React.

I've never used R myself. Will try to set it up and see how different this is from plain Hugo. Thank you!

You're using the base16 theme for the first one, correct? Looks nice. I liked the second one as well. What theme is that?

Yup.

The theme is a Grav theme, ported to Hugo[1] (hence the "made with Grav and Hugo" -- the actual site is made with just Hugo). The source for the site is [2]. And the source for my other sites are here[3,4].

I'm very happy with using pelican for my blog: https://startuplab.io/blog It's very flexible, written in python, easy to customize, has plugins for any purpose. It supports markdown, latex, code snippets (with syntax highlighting). It's very simple to set up and you can use it for any purpose. I've made a custom theme, configured it a bit, and served it with nginx on digital ocean(but you could also host it for free…
But then, I don't like Disqus myself. Can't imagine forcing someone else to use it. I'll think about it. Thanks for bringing this up and for everything as well!
