  • chocolate

    A *very* simple static site generator. (by rael9)

    Either straight HTML and CSS, or a static site generator. I made a super simple one called Chocolate (https://github.com/rael9/chocolate) that I use for my site but there are many out there. But if you like wysiwyg then just grab an html editor and make it in that. It’ll load faster than most sites these days.

  • eleventy 🕚⚡️

    A simpler site generator. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML.

    I had similar goals for my blog, including markdown for post content. I ended up using11ty which I am still really happy with: https://www.11ty.dev/
