Top Open-Source Static Site Generators

Re: Top Open-Source Static Site Generators
#12https://staticsitegenerators.net/ has the most comprehensive list of static site generators I've seen. At this point what we really need is a list of static site generator lists.
That list also includes all kind of stuff that's not actually static sure generators, like BitBalloon (hosting service) or Kirby (flat file CMS), etc... At staticgen we have far stricter rules of what we accept in the list. See https://www.staticgen.com/rules
They're fairly clearly labelled and categorized. Might be easier to build a frontend to their open Public Domain data rather than asking everyone to re-submit their projects: https://github.com/bevry/staticsitegenerators-list/

#13Jekyll is used by github, each gitub project can roll its own jekyll blog, therefore its usage numbers are very high.

#14Java and Java 8 are really the same language at the level of granularity you use for the site :-)

Yeah, good catch - just pushed a fix for that :)

As far as I can see there's no categorization. The only way to find the list of actual static site generators is to read through the description of each of them. And since some don't have descriptions, the only way to know for sure is to visit their website and try to read through the docs to figure out.
That said it's a great list of tools around static web-tech - just not super useful if you're strictly looking for static site generators.

#17No listing for vi/vim/emacs/your-favorite-text-editor?
Seriously - does nobody just do simple HTML sites by hand anymore?

I'm also writing a Guile program specifically for the static site generator workflow called Haunt: http://haunt.dthompson.us/ I'm currently adding support for the Skribe syntax that Skribilo uses and it will be available in the next release, after I convert my existing blog to Haunt from Pelican and work out any transition pains.
OK, Haunt looks pretty nice. According to my TODO, i'm still supposed to convert my website from Hakyll to something with parens sometime in the future, so i'll definitely keep Haunt in mind :).

There are License and Language keys for most entries. Sounds like you want to filter out the Commercial and Web ones. If you find any that aren't categorized properly, I'm sure they'd appreciate a PR.

I'll typically make a fairly simple template by 'hand' in my editor, then port it to Jekyll or WordPress or something else like that.
As far as writing + deploying a simple HTML site, it's been 2-3 months since I've done that, if only because no one I contract with or work with wants to spend the time or money on me hand-writing and pushing a site-- templating it and then generating the rest of the site is at least a little quicker than that, and still doesn't come with the burden of using a backend language.
