Ask HN: What do you think about Static Site Generators?
I've trying different static site generators these days, from Gatsby to Eleventy. What do you think about these tools and JAM stack?
- smoyer 6y agoThere are a lot of them to play with - https://github.com/pinceladasdaweb/Static-Site-Generators https://github.com/pinceladasdaweb/Static-Site-Generators. I'm not sure which ones you've tried but one of the pitfalls of switching to a static site generator is that there's no easy way (other than trying them) to compare features. I'd still advise picking one that's based on a language you know (or want to learn). I'm using Hugo and find that I can make it do what I want ... it's also blazing fast.
- mcherm 6y agoWell, I use a static site generator for my blog (https://mcherm.com https://mcherm.com). It gives me confidence it can scale well and for a blog site static content (with simple dynamic content being rendered in the browser) is just fine.
