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.
