I wonder if GitHub will step in and maintain. Isn't it still a built-in part of their pages stack? Even if there isn't new feature development, if it's part of their stack they should step in and maintain it. You don't want bitrot to introduce vulnerabilities through unmaintained publicly exposed things in your stack.
Jekyll's commit history suggests the "RIP" title is, shall we say, exaggerated. https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/commits/master
I don't doubt Jekyll is mature, but there's a difference between mature and abandoned. It looks like at least two different folks are committing, which gives me hope that this project (which we use quite heavily at $DAYJOB) is mature.

Thank you! I don't doubt Jekyll is mature, but there's a difference between mature and abandoned. It looks like at least two different folks are committing, which gives me hope that this project (which we use quite heavily at $DAYJOB) is mature.
What do people use besides Jekyll?
I've been using Hugo as well. I used Pelican (Python port of Jekyll) for a long time, but Hugo is so much more performant and has a larger ecosystem at this point. The main downside is that the Hugo documentation is sometimes terse and snarky.
I use Jekyll for a static site and I guess I just don't really understand why it needs further development. I haven't upgraded my version of Jekyll since I think 2017 because it does what it says on the tin. Sometimes it's ok for software to be "done".
I dont often say this on the internet but WFT? I am autistic. I love coding. A single person can create wonderful software that is a gift to everyone as open source. I hate trying to be an extrovert and engage with a lot of people. I hate twitter and discord Does that mean that I and people like me cannot do open source in 2021? Most of these seem like detriments more than anything. * Engagement on Twitter * Official…
I spent a few months making the "ultimate" Gatsby site for my blog. I loved it. A year went by and I had no desire to relearn everything in order to update the thing (and fix the myriad of security vulns GitHub was now warning me about).
A few years later and I ended up deleting most of it and replacing the internals with Rails. Now Sitepress is just a tiny rails application sitting on top of a bunch of files. Most of the maintenance and dependencies are handled by major Rails lib maintainers. If you’ve grown use to Rails helpers, they’re all there.
When you deploy it, you can compile it into static files and deploy as you’d expect, but you can also deploy it as a rails or rack app … or even embed it into an existing rails app.
When Rails 7.0 gets released I’ll drop JS importmaps into the default install for free and have my dream static site generator that doesn’t have a huge asset compilation step.

Although I agree, you can read content on Discord without an account. All you need to do is enter a username.

Well if you want to reach lots of developers, you have to be where they are, and they're on Twitter and Discord—for better or worse. :shrug:
