I am currently using Hugo as a static site generator for my blog. It’s not bad but rather limited. Does anybody know about something that would be equally as lightweight but offer some more flexibility. I just don’t know what is out there so anything you guys could come up with would be appreciated.

I recall eleventy being pretty good.

I had one issue with it, re how it generated links, that didn’t match how I needed it to in order to migrate my site, which was a dealbreaker for me. But other than that, it was solid.

I despise jekyll, purely from the standpoint of the state of their documentation.

There was another, that was extremely lightweight and configurable, at the cost of requiring much configuration - I think it was called “metal” - if I can find it I’ll report back

Edit: Hexo and Metalsmith. Hexo scratches my javascript itch; metalsmith is extremely versatile - it’s more of an erector set than a finished thing.

Thank you! I’ll check out Eleventy. I also recently learned about Publii which might be a possibility.
