   :globe_with_meridians: Jekyll is a blog-aware static site generator in Ruby

   

   Project mention: Setting up a hugo static site hosted with Porkbun | dev.to | 2026-03-31

   This is a static site generated with hugo with the PaperMod theme. I wanted an easy to use static site generator. I considered Jekyll and believe it to be a good choice for static sites. There seemed to be slightly more themes I liked with hugo so I went with that. That's a pretty superficial choice but I also don't plan on hacking on the site generation itself so I was agnostic to the Go versus Ruby choice.
