Nobody's mentioned Hexo yet (edit: here), so I will. A while back I reviewed the top 5-6 Node-based SSGs and hexo seemed like the best tradeoff between simple and flexible. https://hexo.io/ I also wrote up all the stuff I learned migrating and existing Wordpress blog to static: http://aphall.com/2016/01/migrating-wordpress-to-static/

#62Sort of related and shameless plug but I'm building a "comments as a service" application that isn't disqus. My first target market is static sites. Check it out here: http://www.remarkbox.com
Since we're shameless pluggin', I have a Jekyll plugin that will display an image gallery from a folder (with a single liquid tag). https://github.com/callmeed/jekyll-image-set

#63What are people using for hosting? I've thought about using github pages, but css ended up being severely limited.

#64Re: Static Website Generators
#65is there an ssg that is entirely web based? I don't want local files or to use a terminal. I would move away from Wordpress (and would like to) if something let me click a few buttons to set up a simple blog. I don't need anything fancy.. Let me make some basic choices and post my blogs.
It also adds some configuration that you can add to Jekyll's config, letting you decide how each menu in the admin console should appear. [1]

#67I've wanted to make a static site generator generator for a while. Run the script and out comes another script with a wicked cool name that uses one of the many markup options, header formats, and templating engines (either manually or randomly selected). Somebody, please make this.

#68I have been eyeing Lektor[1] for a little while, it seems to have good documentation, and an interesting, opinionated dev behind it. 1: https://www.getlektor.com/
What is the benefit of lektor over nikola and pelican?
Re: Static Website Generators
#69For my website I have a custom python script, and I use RestructuredText for markup. If I started now, I would replace the script with a set of Makefiles... or better use any existing generator.

#70I just use emacs + org mode -> org-publish to generate my site [1] from org-mode with some customizations; it's been the most flexible and fun way to build a site I've had across all my attempts so far, particularly given that I can go meta and also publish the htmlized raw org files at the same time [2].
