I'm surprised nobody mentioned Hugo[0] yet.
I write Markdown and commit to a git repo, then a web hook in Caddy pulls and builds the static site, anything I commit is up in a matter of seconds.
I'd much rather spend what little time I have writing blogs to help people learn new things than write YASSG.
Someone below linked to a site with over 400 SSGs.I think OPs "why" was really "because I wanted to", after having only tried Jekyll and Gatsby (apparently).

- schemescape 5y agoNot the author, but my issue with Hugo is that the template language is so different from everything else I've ever used that it didn't feel worth the effort to learn (and, later, re-learn) it, when I could just find a different static site generator with a more agreeable template language. Note: this only applies if you're planning to write your own HTML. If you're using a packaged theme, Hugo would likely be a great choice. I didn't want to use an existing theme, because all the ones I found either didn't do what I wanted or were bloated (or they had Facebook and Twitter logos built in...). For the record, my entire index page (including CSS and favicon) is 1/5th the size of just the CSS used in Hugo's tutorial.
- Semiapies 5y agoA limited SSG is so easy to write that it might just be less work to slap one together that meets your needs than spend the time trying out a few existing ones and learning enough about how to use them to make an evaluation.
