    It’s my own SSG: https://github.com/nicbou/ursus/. I edit text for a living so the effort was worth it.

    As for organisation, they are usually in the ./scripts directory of their respective projects. Generic ones are in my dotfiles: https://github.com/nicbou/dotfiles

    Ursus too! It would be fairly trivial. I just prefer Markdown though. I edit content for a living and Markdown is rock-solid.

    I run a content website for a living, and I have a personal blog.

    Both are built with Ursus, a static site generator I created from scratch.

    It's on https://github.com/nicbou/ursus. A slightly older version is on pypi. It's been running for a few months now, but only for two websites.
