Best static site generator that uses Svelte
Does someone has experience with headless static sites generator that uses svelte with an optimized SEO in mind? I'm currently testing https://github.com/sveltejs/kit but I ran into some problems into building using static-adapter (index.html without static content, metatags being generetad by JS and not inside html file) so I'm currently testinghttps://github.com/elderjs/elderjs and https://github.com/withastro/astro and I would like to know if someone has any experience using svelte to build "simple" projects without the need of client side routing or SSR, just a plain old html, js and css build. Thanks!

How can I build a data site that doesn't need to be updated often?
If you're comfortable with html and not afraid of learning Javascript you should be able to pick up Svelte quite quickly. There's a cool project build on it called Elder.js and it's all about massive statically generated sites from data.

what is partial hydration and why is everyone talking about it?
This lets you reduce your payloads while still having control over component lazy-loading, preloading, and eager-loading. While lesser known than Astro, Elder.js included partial hydration as early as August 2020, roughly six months before Astro's initial commit.

Gojekyll – 20x faster Go port of jekyll
I have migrated from Jekyll to Hugo for my own website, but the whole Hugo project is just weird. It took me like a year to migrate my simple website because of all the different paper cuts that drained my will to work on it.
You are only able to only use partials in HTML pages and shortcodes in Markdown pages. Why? They use 2 different syntax, so the best you can do is awkwardly wrap a partial in a shortcode. What's the point? They serve basically the same purpose.
Want to set up RSS? Oh yeah, for some reason by default it will not show full content in your feed reader, instead only a small extract with the only way to fix it is by making your own template[1]. But wait, why are we using RSS instead of Atom? Who knows, but if you want to use Atom, you have to use your template and insert some stuff to your config.
Also don't look at the bug tracker, that thing is frustrates me to no end.
You of course have the everyone's favourite Stalebot that you might have noticed in my previous link, but if you look at older issues, you will see the maintainer self-botting as a Stalebot[2][3] for some reason.
You will also see the maintainer moving issues between milestones for years with no end in sight[4].
Changelogs can sometimes feel a bit, odd too:
> but also a big shoutout to @dependabot[bot], […] for their ongoing contributions.
And commit messages sometimes are just… a bit too long[5] (it is truncated by GitHub, you can append .patch to see the full message).
Their documentation is awful to read too[6]. Oh and the templating engine? Yeah, not documented at all. Also the quick start guide will tell you to git clone some random theme, but I don't want my website to look like someone's, I want to write my own styles and have my own structure, but they don't really tell you anywhere how you should go about it. Because of it, I would search GitHub to sometimes find answers on how to do some stuff, but you would quickly find that most people had no idea how to actually use it. For example you can find a lot of people making opening and ending partials to have a common page layout instead of actually using the built-in Hugo layouts.
So why have I bothered switching? i18n support, so far out of all SSG I tried, Hugo does it in the least painful way.

That issue should have been closed. This was resolved in Hugo 112. https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/tag/v0.112.0
The fact that Hugo still doesn't play nicely with Tailwind 3 (2 years after T3 was released) is a real pain point.
I gave up on this ever being fixed quite a while back, but still check on the issue [1] every now and then. Seems like the only activity these days is bep bumping the milestone every month.

A Developer's Guide to Blogging
For creating a static site I recommend Hugo. In short this is because it is popular, well-supported, fast, and allows you to get up and running quickly with premade templates.

What's your favorite static site generator?
I use Hugo. Creating templates was admittedly not easy at first. But as soon as you understand it, you can implement a lot with it.

I created Hugo AUR packages
After using Hugo on an Arch-based Linux machine for a while, I realized that a clean, up-to-date, and well-maintained Hugo package is missing. I found/used the following existing packages:
-
