  • jinjabread

    A Python-based static site generator using Jinja templates.

  • sushy

    A wiki/blogging engine with a static file back-end

  • Very nice. Like my own stuff, you have an index file and dependent media per folder, which is the only real way to scale out beyond a few dozen pages (my site has… a few more - https://taoofmac.com/static/graph)

    One suggestion I’d make is to do two passes—one to index all the inter-page links, another to actually render the templates. I do that (and full text search) with SQLite: https://github.com/rcarmo/sushy/blob/master/sushy/models.py

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Docusaurus

    Easy to maintain open source documentation websites.

  • Facebook's React/Markdown SSG docusaurus does those things: https://docusaurus.io/

    Though you may have to use a plugin for responsive images: https://docusaurus.io/docs/api/plugins/@docusaurus/plugin-id...

  • zim-desktop-wiki

    Main repository of the zim desktop wiki project

  • I'll slightly modify your argument; because Pure HTML does suck:

    Why don't people make static sites with a simple "Markdown-or-Similar to HTML" converter, CSS, and vanilla JS...etc?

    (This is what I do, btw -- http://zim-wiki.org + a template)
