“Make” as a Static Site Generator
Most of the Static Site Generators default to generating blog from markdown, which is not feasible for company websites etc. For such projects I like Middleman (https://middlemanapp.com) which provides layouts/partials and things like haml templates.

Show HN: Self-hosted CMS on Cloudflare for podcast/blog/images/videos/docs/URLs
I use middleman[^1] + bulmaCSS + FontAwesome but host on github using the `github.io` domain and upload podcasts to "archive.org"[^2]. The reason I choose this setup is because I want the content to survive as much as possible, hence open source technology and "free & long lived" hosting were requirements.

Building Static Websites w/ Rails in 2022
I came across Middleman but it's meant to work with Ruby not necessarily Rails, it's also a bit old although appears kept up to date.

What is your development setup (IDE, gems, library, ci/cd etc) for RoR/non-RoR applications development ?
For my personal site, which is 10 years old, I use Middleman, and I deploy the site to S3/Cloudfront with s3_website. It works fine for now. If s3_website stops working, I'll move to Netlify probably.

State of the Web: Static Site Generators
I worked with middleman[0] before and it was much easier to setup for these kind of sites. It might not be as fast as Hugo but who cares if you change a page every other month.

Lume, which is the simplest static site generator for Deno
I tried using lume, which is the simplest static site generator for Deno. I have searched a simple static site generator, because GatsbyJS and stuff are not simple, I don't need GraphQL, ReactJS, etc. However, jekyll or Middleman are old, I want to use javascript ecosystem.

Question about Shopify/similar platforms
I was using Middleman at the time, which generates static pages.

RIP Jekyll (The Genesis of the Jamstack)
But if for some reason Bridgetown simply isn't to your liking, what's the alternative? You could try out another Ruby static site generator with a long and impressive pedigree, Middleman. There's also Nanoc.

Do we really need variadics?
I'm using bridgetown because I like sitting on the bleeding edge, its basically a newer Jekyll which I would recommend checking out too. Bridgetown has a great modern dev experience but its missing some of the ecosystem from Jekyll. Not a problem for me because I'm really comfortable with Ruby.

Why write technical content on a blog and not only on social media
If you want to have a different UI or your blog to look in a very specific way I recommend using Jekyll or Bridgetown.

How would I make and deploy a simple website
If I wanted to post a simple website today I would look into Jekyll. There are a ton of articles and answers to common questions etc. It itself is written in Ruby but using it will not likely help you to learn Ruby. One-step in the direction of learning Ruby and getting a simple website could be Bridgetown. This will start you down a path of learning Ruby and not Rails. We use Bridgetown for our company site at Flagrant.

How to use View Transitions in Hotwire Turbo
In the Hotwire Turbo world specifically, several discussions about integrating transition animations also took place and a few promising approaches emerged, namely the Turn project or the transitions in Bridgetown. There is also a chapter in the Noel Rappin’s Modern Front-End book and an interesting article but overall, frankly, this topic still fells somewhat early-stage and exploratory.

how to add a simple blog to my SaaS?
If you’re not adept in that right now you’re unlikely to create a system to support it. I would encourage you to look into Jekyll or Bridgetown.rb as blog systems that support all the SEO bells and whistles without you having to recreate them.

Learning Rails vs JS ecosystem?
Thanks! Yeah Ruby is great. Rails, on the other hand, presented a steep learning curve to me, so I found it helpful to build a site with Bridgetown first. Here's a good intro to Bridgetown in case that sounds interesting.
