There are a lot of them to play with - https://github.com/pinceladasdaweb/Static-Site-Generators. I'm not sure which ones you've tried but one of the pitfalls of switching to a static site generator is that there's no easy way (other than trying them) to compare features. I'd still advise picking one that's based on a language you know (or want to learn). I'm using Hugo and find that I can make it do what I want ... it's also blazing fast.
In Ask HN: What do you think about Static Site Generators?
For static site generators: https://github.com/pinceladasdaweb/Static-Site-Generators https://staticsitegenerators.net/ I keep all my resources for working with GitHub Pages, here: https://infominer.id/web-work/github-pages-starter-pack/ and am most familiar with GitHub facilitated Jekyll: https://github.com/planetjekyll/awesome-jekyll MkDocs makes really nice pages that don't require fussing around with frontmatter, with auto generated navigation based on directory structure. It also opens your publishing toolkit to python's universe of markdown related extensions, which you may already be familiar with. https://www.mkdocs.org/
