hello :)

I want to have a personal website, that can be stored in git
(hopefully static).
I' ve been using material mkdocs and i love it, but the blog
functionality still does not convince me.

​

Do you know alternatives/plugins or even examples or personal websites
that blew your mind that could help me in this task?
FYI i want to have on the website description of myself, projects, and
blog to share thoughts, etc. My experience with materials was doing
this website [www.deepdeck.co](https://www.deepdeck.co)

​

Thanks!

Static site generators are a dime a dozen. The simplest being just
typing HTML into a folder and publishing to a cheap static hosting
website (also a dime a dozen).

Hugo and Gatsby are popular SSG, and you can find more in
https://staticsitegenerators.net/ and https://jamstack.org/generators/

I was on this same quest a few weeks ago (again, after leaving things
alone for several years).

I ended up choosing Sphinx and MyST. I started from
https://chrisholdgraf.com/blog/2020/sphinx-blogging/ and
https://jdsalaro.com/cheatsheet/sphinx-myst-markdown/index.html

I eventually came up with a setup and workflow that work (so far) for
me. I hope to write about that too sometime soon at
https://www.lytning.org/

Good luck in your quest.
