There are a lot of homonyms with English and Chinese that you won't get from typical dictionary searches because even the romanized spelling is completely different.

We don't need to create one if we do not like Hugo. There are other SSGs like Hugo. Jekyll, Gatsby, etc., More here https://jamstack.org/generators/
NextJS is (by far) the best of the bunch, because it isn't limited to SSG.
No mention of Eleventy [1] here. Definitely worth a look, my personal view is it nails the balance of simplicity, power and flexibility. I have used it for all sorts of projects, from marketing websites to quick client docs and presentations. For non-trivial usage in a project see google web.dev [2].

It was almost trivial for me to add a social sharing image generator for my posts. [2] That's something I never thought my SSG would be able to do.
Definitely check it out if you're looking at static generators. Zola too, which is amazing in its own right.

They are not the right comparison, but we get your point.
The parent listed static site generators including Gatsby, Hugo, and Jekyll. I suggested NextJS is a superior option to those 3, because (among many other things) it supports "export" of a fully static, pre-rendered site, which puts it -- unambiguously! -- in the "JAMstack SSG tools" category. So I'm baffled by the downvotes, and your dismissal.
What am I missing? Thanks in advance!
PS Edit to add: NextJS is even listed, as the 1st result, in the parent's jamstack link!
My input as a former technologist turned marketing guy over the years - where is a decent SSG (perhaps like Zola) with page building drag and drop tools like a Wix or a Squarespace? I'd love to move our site off of Wix - and have full control when needed and work offline before publishing pages - but inevitably you dive back into code or the guts of database queries once you leave these WYSIWYG tools. Between Wix and…
What is stopping someone writing an offline GUI for a static site generator? I think that would help a bit with non-technical adoption.
If you can run a local web server, WordPress has a static site generator: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/
pip install --user mkdocs
cd your-markdown-directory/../
echo 'site_name: mysite' > mkdocs.yml
ln -s your-markdown-directory docs
mkdocs build && mkdocs serve
# if you don't like the default theme:
mkdocs build -t readthedocs && mkdocs serve

Zola uses a similar template language called Tera that seems to be a lot safer.

I doubt people who want to avoid javascript will use a javascript based static site builder.
Isn't that a bit like saying that people who want small web pages wouldn't want to use hugo, as it's a 60 megabyte binary?

Please explain how it's "not the right comparison". The parent listed static site generators including Gatsby, Hugo, and Jekyll.
