It’s fun to make your own SSG tool, and this is a great example of keeping it simple.
It’s also interesting to read so many comments of people doing similar things.
For my own site, I find that I want an SSG tool that is simple, intuitive, and stays out of the way. With these goals in mind, I have been able to slowly improve my tool over and over. It’s been awesome to be able to do more using less.

- adityaathalye 3y agoAbsolutely! What mental model did you arrive at? Mine is "an SSG is just a source to HTML compiler and compositor, plus file organiser". I reviewed a few tools (jekyll, emacs.love/weblorg, hugo), and ended up making mine in big part because I went down the rabbit hole of "well, why is this part here? why is it like this? why can't we do this other thing? wow this bit is cool, how do I make it myself?".
- bundie 3y agoHmm, is this SSG tool public? like, on GitHub or something?
