paperoni VS gutenberg

I made a CLI interface for the Microsoft Academic API so you can search for papers, download them, and generate HTML from a collection: https://github.com/mila-iqia/paperoni

I'm using it to automatically collect papers published by members of the research institute I work for, it's working pretty well.

I also made a small utility to sync folders on-demand on my different machines: https://github.com/breuleux/synecure

Most of the work is done by a library called bsync that someone else had written, which itself uses rsync, but I'm quite happy about the interface I made. By default it syncs home-to-home, so you don't have to specify both the source and destination directories. You can just type "sy -r remote" in ~/whatever to sync it to ~/whatever on the remote.

So after shopping around a bit I found a simple, dependency-less static site generator called Zola. The lack of dependencies sounded very attractive after all the headaches trying to update my Gatsby modules. I wanted to give Zola a try and see what tradeoffs I would need to make coming form a React-based framework to this Rust-based generator.

I think you're thinking about Zola: https://github.com/getzola/zola

But yes, if I were to recommend something, it'd be Zola given that there's just one executable that you need to run and there's absolutely no setup required.

If I were to start again from scratch, I'd likely use Zola as SSG (https://www.getzola.org/)

I've used Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) for a static project homepage a few years ago to showcase examples with a simple description and a wasm app embedded in the page, it worked perfectly for me and the docs was clear on how to use it. It was very easy to set up along with a GitHub action to automatically update the wasm binaries when needed. It is definitely a tool I keep in my mental toolbox as a good default.

I'm currently learning https://www.getzola.org/.

It's more manual than idy like but it's gonna be for a small personal and work website so I don't mind much.

It's super fast.

Doesn't seem to fit your use casr but still.

(Note: that list is overwhelming; you don't need to go through it. Order by popularity and look at the top 3-5 at most. Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby... Personally I'm using Zola [ https://www.getzola.org/ ] for a couple of sites, but that's just me.)
