Top 10 Static Site Generators in 2020

[@johnbuchmann4912]

As an Angular guy primarily, I recently played around with Scully, and it's really good! You can add it to any existing Angular project with one CLI command and you're done. (for basic routes). But a little bit of code needed so it can find dynamic routes. (like product detail pages, etc.) One of the best things is you literally don't need to change how you code in Angular, so there's really no learning curve.

[@JamesQQuick]

Oh so cool! I haven’t used angular in a while but I’ve heard good things about scully!

[@AndrewSchott]

Been a very happy mkdocs user here for ~6 years. Easily written config and content. Straightforward to automate pulling content from a git repo, building, and deploying. Massive improvement over wordpress/drupal.

1. JAMstack 2. Gatsby js 3. Next js 4. Nuxt js 5. Hugo (Go) 6. Jekyll (Ruby) 7. Scully (Angular) 8. Sculpin (php) 9. Sapper (Svelte) 10. Middleman (Ruby)

I really like hugo for bloging. Its very easy to use and they have a lot of free template.

[@flyingchic3n]

I've been using sapper (now svelte-kit) to run my personal blog, but I recently built a website for a friend out of pure html/css. The html/css site was built in a few days, while the svelte site took me over a week of non stop work. I feel like alot of these ssgs are over complicated for 90% of the websites that use them.

[@apu889]

This was brutally true. Those SSG just adding more headache. All what I need is just partial & slot. Just simple as that.

[@dontaskiwasbored2008]

Thanks especially for framing this in terms of the underlying web frameworks each are designed to work with. That really made the SSG ecosystem a lot easier to understand, and now I'm able to narrow down the options much quicker.

Anything about Gridsome?? It is like Gatsby for Vue

[@JamesQQuick]

You’re absolutely right. Honestly I should have thrown it in as an extra. Wanted to spread the love across languages/frameworks but definitely agree I hear good things there as well!

[@prathisahrudh]

[@JamesQQuick]

Wow thank you! No I don’t have a discord. Seems a little daunting time me personally to manage but maybe it’s worth thinking about

[@prathisahrudh]

[@tuxidoyt]

I just Use HTML and CSS to build static site 😁

[@SyedSunnyhellobuoy]

Anything about stenciljs?

[@shubhamarora547]

[@JamesQQuick]

I definitely will!

[@HaifengZhu-pn3uq]

Are static site generator still popular in 2023

[@JamesQQuick]

Becoming less so. I think the more popular thing is frameworks that can do static but also have full server capabilities

[@HaifengZhu-pn3uq]

@@JamesQQuick Thanks, what frameworks are verp popular in developing static sites

[@JamesQQuick]

Astro, Next.js, Nuxt.js, 11ty. Those are a few popular ones!@@HaifengZhu-pn3uq

[@ashwinkumark1400]

[@janmsavage]

Pelican is an SSG based on Python.

[@JohnDoe-rj2kf]

[@h4nzo692]

I like SSG

[@llothar68]

Why use a static site generators when most sites could be done with your own written script in less then 500 lines? I did this already with ruby and liquid templates 10 years ago to get rid of wordpress on my site. This shit is easy.

[@princefireearth]

[@JamesQQuick]

Bahahaha me?
