  • mmssg

    Most Minimal Static Site Generator

  • I've found this, which looked promising, but doesn't seem to be maintained and looks like it would require git, which seems kind of unnecessary?

  • Luapress

    Discontinued :newspaper: Static site/blog generator written in Lua.

  • I did a couple projects in luapress and liked it.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • starkers

    Discontinued Starkers WordPress Theme

  • I realise there is a lot of hate for WP but a 'naked' theme like @ https://github.com/aaronallport/starkers is a great starter ( couple that with ACF for fields ) and you have a really easy CMS.

  • wp2static

    WordPress static site generator for security, performance and cost benefits

  • What you can do is use something like Flywheel to run it locally. Then if you want to take a straight WP site and dump on Netlify use Leon's wp2static @ https://wp2static.com/ to create a static version on the fly.

  • eleventy 🕚⚡️

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

  • portable-php

    A blog in one HTML file

  • A really minimal solution: portable-php
