awesome-static-generators (curated list)
A curated GitHub “awesome” list cataloguing hundreds of static-site-generators — tools that compile plain-text files into HTML sites.
How it’s organized
- By use case, not language: blogs, CMS, documentation, science, marketing, frameworks, photography, wikis, and more.
- Each entry tags its primary language (
#Python,#JavaScript,#Rust,#Go,#Ruby…).
Notable entries
- jekyll (Ruby) — “simple, blog-aware” SSG, the genre’s early standard-bearer.
- hugo (Go) — “optimized for speed, easy use and configurability.”
- Gatsby (JavaScript/React).
- astro (JavaScript) — “framework agnostic,” partial hydration.
- eleventy (JavaScript) — “simpler static site generator.”
Why it’s here
Evidence of the breadth of the static-site-generator ecosystem (hundreds of tools across dozens of categories) and a cross-language counterweight to the JS-centric framing of jamstack-generators-list. Complements that ranked list: this one organizes by what you’re building, the Jamstack list ranks by popularity.
