Ask HN: Looking for the simplest static site/blog generator

5 points by Malaclypst 5y ago ↗ HN

Today I read some posts on HackerNews about making html code easier. I wonder if there are generators of static websites, but not as huge as Hugo (pardon the pun) or Jekyll. Something that generates simple-as-fck static page(s) without bloated javascript and same. Thanks HN!

I made this to generate simple blog content from my markdowns. Like a page of python.. https://github.com/mechregard/light-wait

Can’t get much simpler than this: primo.af

If you really want to get barebones you don't even need a static site generator, a template management library like handlebars.js or Jinja2 will suffice: load html template, fill the placeholders, save the results to file and you have your static pages.

The pun went right over my head, like a Pelican.

If all you want is simple pages why not use a simple html template?
