static-site-generators

When I was reviewing existing static site generators I couldn't make Hakyll install - but this was back under Squeeze (Debian). https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators

I've got a mini-review, stalled, of some of the options: https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators

SO is great for what it is, direct answers from questions. It is hard to think back to the days of pre-SO when most answers had to come from books (!) It is not designed, and will never be a place to foster discussions, or encourage exploration. I'm NOT complaining about SO, this is just how it is designed. This kind of content, for example, is not something SO would create: http://www.techempower.com/blog/2013/05/17/frameworks-round-... https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators Since we don't have a SO for discussions we still rely on information from individual research and/or the modern-day newsgroup (reddit, forums). I wish there was a place to fully explore nebulous unanswerable questions like "Which web UI framework is fastest to develop in?" or "What is the best way to start a 2d platform game today (in 2013)?" This isn't an ea

I knew I'd heard of that name. THere are a couple of projects listed in the README that I've not yet gotten round to. A user submitted a bug-report to draw attention to Middleman & Yeoman, but then closed it before I got round to looking at them. https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators/issues/2 I'll try to find some time soon to add them, and work on the repository some more.

I've updated my mini-review of static-site generators to include it: https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators Early testing looks good, but like so many existing tools it mishandles symbolic links.

There's a brief review of available options here: https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators In conclusion most of them rock, but so many of them have problems with symlinks. I use templer: https://github.com/skx/templer Largely it will come down to whether you're building "a site", or "a blog". The two are slightly different.

Yes, I've been slowly reviewing several of them: https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators Still found I had to write my own..

I publish my blog with chronicle, a static generator. In the past I also reviewed several of the popular static-site generators, many of which are designed for blogging: https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators

I'm not a haskell user, but I did recently try to install a haskell project on my Debian Squeeze host: $ sudo apt-get install ghc6 cabal-install $ sudo cabal update $ sudo cabal install hakyll That failed with an error of the form "installing XX version YY requires FOO version BAR". That gave me zero help in completing the installation, and so I gave up. FWIW: https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators

I'd be more interested in this project if it had documentation. Still I have spent several hours over the past few days reviewing various static site generators to see how well they fair against my own personal requirements: * https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators Perhaps unsurprisingly my own tool https://github.com/skx/templer is currently in the lead. The biggest failure I've seen with most of the static site generators I've reviewed has been complete failure to successfully handle symbolic links.
