Gatsby is a blazing fast static site generator for React. Gatsby.js is a static PWA (Progressive Web App) generator. You get code and data splitting out-of-the-box.

jekyll - :globe_with_meridians: Jekyll is a blog-aware static site generator in Ruby

•    Ruby

---

Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator perfect for personal, project, or organization sites. Think of it like a file-based CMS, without all the complexity. Jekyll takes your content, renders Markdown and Liquid templates, and spits out a complete, static website ready to be served by Apache, Nginx or another web server. Jekyll is the engine behind GitHub Pages, which you can use to host sites right from your GitHub repositories. Jekyll does what you tell it to do — no more, no less. It doesn't try to outsmart users by making bold assumptions, nor does it burden them with needless complexity and configuration. Put simply, Jekyll gets out of your way and allows you to concentrate on what truly matters: your content.

jekyll-scholar - jekyll extensions for the blogging scholar

•    Gherkin

---

Jekyll-Scholar is for all the academic bloggers out there. 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.

cuttlebelle - The react static site generator that separates editing and code concerns

•    HTML

---

All static site generators I have used restrict you to use one layout per page. Todays webdesign needs have outgrown this and we often find ourself either adding code into our content pages (markdown files, liquid templates) or content into our code. That makes updating and maintaining a page hard, especially for a non-technical content author. I needed a generator that can separate content from code as cleanly as possible while still staying a static site generator and as dynamic as possible.

staticman - 💪 Static sites with superpowers

•    Javascript

---

Staticman is a Node.js application that receives user-generated content and uploads it as data files to a GitHub repository. In practice, this allows you to have dynamic content (e.g. blog post comments) as part of a fully static website, as long as your site automatically deploys on every push to GitHub, as seen on GitHub Pages, Netlify and others. It consists of a small web service that handles the POST requests from your forms, runs various forms of validation and manipulation defined by you and finally pushes them to your repository as data files. You can choose to enable moderation, which means files will be pushed to a separate branch and a pull request will be created for your approval, or disable it completely, meaning that files will be pushed to the main branch automatically.

generator-jekyllized - A Yeoman generator for Jekyll to rapidly build sites using Gulp

•    Javascript

---

generator-jekyllized is a very opinionated Yeoman generator built with Jekyll and gulp. You will be able to quickly scaffold your site and start developing. As you are working on your site your assets will automatically be updated and injected into your browser as well as your posts. When you are done developing and want to publish it you are two commands away from having everything optimized and published. While developing locally everything you change will automatically be updated and injected into your browser. Changing your SCSS or JavaScript files will automatically updated them, create sourcemaps and inject them. Writing or editing posts and pages for your website will do the same. Simple and effective.
