hugo-lambda - Use AWS Lambda to run the Hugo static site generator

---

A wrapper around the hugo static site generator to have it run in AWS Lambda whenever new (markdown or other) content is uploaded. See a tutorial here. So why go to all this trouble? Because running a CMS like Wordpress, Drupal, and others gets expensive for infrequently edited sites. You pay 24/7 to run all the code to let you edit your site, when that code only runs when you update your blog. Static site generators are cheaper to run (just toss the files somewhere) but if you're not at the computer you normally use to edit and publish content, you may not have all your tools.

It is a set of extensions to Jekyll, the awesome, blog aware, static site generator; it formats your bibliographies and reading lists for the web and gives your blog posts citation super-powers. Note that it is not possible to use this plugin with the default Github pages workflow. Github does not allow any but a few select plugins to run for security reasons, and Jekyll-Scholar is not among them. You will have to generate your site locally and push the results to the master resp. gh-pages branch of your site repository. You can keep sources, configuration and plugins in a separate branch; see e.g. here for details.

harp - Static Site Server/Generator with built-in preprocessing

---

Harp is a static web server that also serves Jade, Markdown, EJS, Less, Stylus, Sass, and CoffeeScript as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without any configuration. It supports the beloved layout/partial paradigm and it has flexible metadata and global objects for traversing the file system and injecting custom data into templates. Optionally, Harp can also compile your project down to static assets for hosting behind any valid HTTP server. Pre-compilers are becoming extremely powerful and shipping front-ends as static assets has many upsides. It's simple, it's easy to maintain, it's low risk, easy to scale, and requires low cognitive overhead. I wanted a lightweight web server that was powerful enough for me to abandon web frameworks for dead simple front-end publishing.
