1. eleventy 🕚⚡️

   1 271 18,460 9.6 JavaScript

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

   

   The only time I have any need for a project like this in recent years is for hobby projects, but I've been quite fond of the static site generator approach, especially using Eleventy ( https://www.11ty.dev/ ), hosted any-old-where, though Netlify certainly makes it very easy.

   6 106 6,811 9.1 HTML

   The most intuitive Static Site CMS designed for SEO-optimized and privacy-focused websites.

   

   I’m trying out Publii (https://getpublii.com/). It’s an app on your computer that gives a nice interface for building pages and managing content. Supports themes, syncing and uploading to your host (I’m using AWS S3 + Cloudfront for the moment), has a few extensions, more I can’t remember rn. Totally free and open source.

8. astro

   7 605 52,317 9.9 TypeScript

    16 184 19,044 10.0 Rust

    Neon: Serverless Postgres. We separated storage and compute to offer autoscaling, code-like database branching, and scale to zero.

    

    I use my blog as an excuse to play around with new stuff too. There’s some Rust and Neon powering a few random things on my blog like talking to Spotify’s API and blog view counts. It’s arguable mot the most efficient way of doing things (SSR with would suffice), but I that’s what makes me excited to still tinker with my blog and add new things when I can. Astro makes it easy and straightforward while being able to bring your framework gives you the best of all worlds too!
