#2Jekyll Now seems great, but there has been no github activity since 2018. Are there more actively maintained alternatives?

Both Hugo and mkdocs appear to receive more updates than Jekyll these days. I was in the same situation as the author and decided for mkdocs, because it features better syntax highlighting and customization than hugo. I find it also better to read for long documentation-like posts (have a look du.nkel.dev). There are less themes available compared to Hugo, but those that exist feel more powerful and complete.

(author here) yes, the lack of updates is concerning. Interesting, I will check mkdocs out!

Last time I was evaluating static site generators, Dimples and Nanoc both stood out for this recent-updates reason, among other personal criteria.

https://jamstack.org/generators/ is a great list of static site generators.

#7I find creating a site with next.js then making a static export much easier and much more customizable than your typical ssg.
I'd love to hear other opinions though.

They might be. I tried running it locally with the latest ruby LTS and ran into errors. It only worked with Ruby 2.7.
However, what isn't clear is if we need to discard the whole project and go to another one or just help the maintainers. I will see if I can help.

#10If I have just one piece of feedback here it would be:
