I'm really unhappy with wordpress. Wat does the modern blogger use? Static Site Generators? Which one?

@bleeptrack I’m a fan of static website generators. I used jekyll, pelican and hugo before (all optimised for blogs), and currently I’m playing around with statik which is super flexible apparently.https://www.staticgen.com/

@bleeptrack I recently came across write.as on here which does activitypub. I think @jules has a blog there and might be able to share experiences if you're in need :)

@bleeptrack I'm using Jekyll.No strong feelings though, it works well. There are a lot of tutorials available to do most of the things you need.

@bleeptrack Ohh before I forget it -> you can have wordpress as Backend for a static site generator. I just wan´t to notice this for other people search for a site generator but love the comfort of WordPress.

@bleeptrack before I started the podcast I used Hugo and Github pages. It is miracle and so easy.^^ I tried Jekyll before Hugo but it just confuses me with the whole gems and dunno. (I can’t even explain it properly.^^)

@bleeptrackI'm a huge fan of Sphinx: http://www.sphinx-doc.orgEven though it is primarily for (source code) documentation, it is a very flexible static site generator.

@bleeptrackI started to move my stuff from WordPress to pelican as it's based on python I'm more familiar with and uses markdown for the files so if I want to move again it should be easy. An WordPress importer is present as well.

@bleeptrack You already got plenty of responses. I guess you are planning to replace https://www.bleeptrack.de/ with something.I've done some projects in hugo, I'm not the best but let me review if it's possible to move your current wordpress into hugo... (thread)

@bleeptrack I've switched a lot between static site generators and I've ended up with nikola.

@SevenOfNein @bleeptrack That wasn't even a serious factor, although I had bad experiences with the various ruby buildchains for jekyll &co. nikola just does everything I'd expect in a blog+page genarator (e.g. tags, categories) in a nice and very configurable way. The templating takes a bit of getting used to, but overriding templates actually has a helpful command, copying the template in question to your dir, and it's jinja2. :)

@rixx @bleeptrack I'm currently using hugo, which is written in go and uses a couple of different markup languages along the way. I once tried to contribute a feature, but it was too much out of my comfort zone. So it would be a factor for me, if not the most important one.

@rixx @bleeptrack I've played around a bit with Grav and rather liked it. Didn't know about Nikola though; I might give that a try, too.(Though, TBH, I am much more into making stuff than into writing about stuff, and my time is already way too short for the former, so my webpage might never come to be.)

@SevenOfNein @rixx @bleeptrack I'm using Nikola, too, and I'm very happy with it. After adding a new post, I commit it to the git repo, push it to GitHub, and Travis CI takes care of updating my site: https://github.com/FlowFX/flowfx.de/blob/master/.travis.ymlTry that with WordPress!

@flowfx @SevenOfNein @bleeptrack Yeah, with my largest nikola page I just use `nikola deploy` (which rsyncs stuff to my server). With all other static site generator pages independent of the language or build chain, the respective server is a place I have ssh access to (which may not be true for you). In that case I just push to myserver:/path/to/repo, and there is a one-liner post-receive hook which builds the page. Upside: insta build output on pushing!

@bleeptrack I'm using Middleman for my blogs – but admittedly it's a good choice only if you're into the Ruby ecosystem and have experience with Ruby version managers, Bundler & co.

@l3d @bleeptrack I used lektor for a time, and it actually was my last stop before moving to nikola – having to define a data model felt very clunky, integrating tags really annoying, and generally it was more work than use to me. I switched to nikola because I stopped blogging due to the annoyance associated with it.
