I'm determined to set up my blog this weekend. So, in preparation, can you lovely people remind me which static site generators you use and why you like them?I really need something that I don't have to think about too much. Set it up, pick a theme, start writing.Extra points if it does #AsciiDoc.I know that some of you have answered this for me in the past, but trying to search through my past mentions could take some time...#gohugo #jekyll #11ty #staticsite #staticsitegen #markdown

@thelastpsion I prefer #hugo for large blogs for (best?) build performance, small(er) sites #jekyll because of simpler templating engine if not using a theme.

@thelastpsion I use #jekyll (because github pages).However, it doesn't scale well past a certain number of pages, particularly when you start messing around with building indexes, TOCs, glossaries, tag clouds, etc. -- it lends itself to O(n^2) or worse quite quickly.I can't bear the thought of re-doing my blog, but if I did, I'd probably look at #hugo or #11ty.

@thelastpsion My approach is raw handcoded HTML / CSS with Apache SSI server side includes :)Doesn't give you auto-generated RSS though. On the Mac I used Feeder to manually edit the RSS feed file directly on the server.

@thelastpsion And #hugo does handle AsciiDoc natively.

@thelastpsion I love 11ty. Have been using it for years. You can use a starter theme but also tweak it whenever you want to do something custom. And you didn't need to learn a new language. It's just JavaScript but none on the frontend. I started with the official starter theme years ago but have made many changes: https://sia.codes/

@thelastpsion Hey, take a look at ciigohttps://sr.ht/~shulhan/ciigo/It specifically support AsciiDoc.Comparing to hugo or jekyll, this is like the Arch Linux of Linux distro, it does not have default theme or rigid structure, you roll your own theme.The deployment is in single binary, compiled with #golang .

@thelastpsion #11ty all the way. I recommend Kevin Powells video on setting up a blog in 11ty / this one turned the lights on for me! https://youtu.be/4wD00RT6d-g?si=HE2XD_yTBK52lHXX

Welp, I didn't manage to get the blog set up. But I've picked an engine (#gohugo) and the Terminal theme, so it's just a matter of setting it up.Next weekend.

@thelastpsion sorry didn’t see question until now - Jekyll as it’s what GitHub pages uses (no other reason - if I recall it was a pain to set up locally to test with)
