Apparently the site about Static Site Generators is experiencing application problems and is unable to serve content at the moment. Should I be amused or enraged?
oh the irony...

#92another one of these resource lists sites eh (do we have a general list/information curating problem?)
Normally I would be in this posting http://modernstatic.com/ as a long standing index of static generators but hm..seems to have been neglected/let expire..and I can't remember who created it.
http://staticgen.com is a decent alternative

#93Is ther any CMS/blog/... type of thing that would create flat files, but keep all the content also in DB? That way search and comments (and especially moderation for comments) would be easier to handle, but still it would be easy on the server. For my own site I created something like this, https://github.com/Harri/Spage , but instead of DB, I used another set of flat files (serialized arrays containing the page cont…
I am currently building a static-file blogging system based on Prismic.io and Middleman. It's going pretty well.
The hardest part is that we are going to have a build server that rebuilds the stale parts of the site every hour or so - I don't think that's been done with Middleman before, so we're building that from scratch.
I'll post the details on https://tech.bellycard.com when we're done with it.

#94Wow, big list, I have tried a whole bunch of those but my favourite by far is Hugo using Go. https://github.com/spf13/hugo I don't know why but using a single binary is awesome!
Single binary + multi platform + awesome documentation = yes please, I'd like some more.

#95Is there any static site generators for photos? Something like "host your own flickr"? Something that uses exif tags, directory hierarchy, etc to make a static browsable list of your photos?
Re: Static Site Generators
#96Earlier quoted context omitted.
Build your own. I've written something like that. It's not static, because I don't want to have to rebuild everything just 'cause I added a new photo, or fix a type. However, you do literately just use the file system to add and manage photos. I won't link to it because I don't want to link to my real ID. But it's pretty simple. You just have to recursively go over the folder, and get each photo. Make sure there is a…
Yeah I was gonna do that, but wanted to check if anyone else had done it before I reinvent the wheel. :)
Where's the fun in that? Re-inventing the wheel to scratch your own itch is part of the process of improving yourself as a developer.
:p

#97I'm a Ruby developer and interested in creating a business in this space.
Specifically a online-CMS that generates static html uploaded to a CDN. The target market is businesses who need to know their content is "uncrashable" and "infinitely scalable". The price point would be >$100/mo.
Get in touch with me if you are interested in that idea.

I've been hacking on Spontaneous CMS for a couple of years now:
It renders to static files by default (as well as compiling+compressing assets etc) and you can define any number of separate outputs in multiple formats (e.g. HTML, JSON, Javascript, XML, RSS etc) which will also be rendered at the same time.
Plus a whole world of other features, some I consider to be relatively revolutionary.
It works well but lacks, (really, really seriously) lacks, documentation.

That sounds like a feature not a product.
