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

Jekyll Now seems great, but there has been no github activity since 2018. Are there more actively maintained alternatives?
- Helmut10001 6y agoBoth 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.
- flamecoals 6y ago(author here) yes, the lack of updates is concerning. Interesting, I will check mkdocs out!
- fossuser 6y agoYeah - I’m still on Jekyll because of built in GitHub pages support, but if I was starting today I’d probably use Hugo.
- themodelplumber 6y agoLast time I was evaluating static site generators, Dimples and Nanoc both stood out for this recent-updates reason, among other personal criteria. https://github.com/waferbaby/dimples https://github.com/waferbaby/dimples https://nanoc.ws/ https://nanoc.ws/
- MisterBiggs 6y agohttps://jamstack.org/generators/ https://jamstack.org/generators/ is a great list of static site generators.
- gumby 6y agoAre updates needed?
- flamecoals 6y agoThey 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.
- thitcanh 6y agoMaintenance is certainly useful even if there are no new features. I doubt the project is bug-free so no updates means no bugfixes either.
