Quick look site generators

zola sitegen

2020-07-17


Looked into static site generators, surprised there's dedicated site listing. Most of them aren't simple, instance they have dedicated server inbuilt.

Initially Bashblog looked interesting, but If I going on that path I would like to write something from scratch.

After skimming through ports, found Zola. It's relatively new with single-binary (includes search index, will I need it?) has great documentation and I always had soft spot for rust.

Fits my need but don't want to simply snatch templates (hate doing it), same goes for rices (paddy field?) too reason I got sick of unixporn.

Having few ideas, I just use something as starting point and build my way through.
