Hey, just wanted to drop this here. It's a technical follow-up to The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Static Sites which was reasonably popular, and explains the components of a static site's stack.

Just last week I decided to try a different tech than I'm used to to run up a site. I did a little research then searched GitHub and found Hugo. I read the Hugo docs, followed their beginners guide and... Didn't get fucking anywhere. Their docs are out of date, the examples are out of date. It looked so promising but my brain works best when referencing examples and when I couldn't even get those to work, well, I don't have time for that these days.

If anyone knows another static site generator with up to date documentation and an easy to run up example please let me know.

I use Pelican for the site and it's working great. :)

Astro is also popular and will be familiar if you've developed with React before as they support JSX templates.
