2 points · Open discussionShow HN: Aurora, an extensible Python static site generator
Aurora is a fast, extensible Python static site generator. With Aurora, I can generate my personal website [1] (~1,700 files, with multiple layers of jinja2 templates for each page) in < 4 seconds. Aurora generated 292,884 pages from a Hacker News post dataset in 2m:20s.
I appreciate being able to see changes I make as soon as possible, so Aurora comes with hot reloading and incremental static regeneration for development. Refreshes and reloads are ~200ms, and trigger automatically.
You can see a demo at:
https://github.com/capjamesg/aurora/assets/37276661/39f62bd8...
Aurora comes with a "hooks" API that lets you control state before page generation and after site build. I use the former feature to read locally-cached link previews. There is also a feature to load data from JSON and CSV files.
I would love feedback!
