A while back, I got tired of dealing with the mess of Gatsby, Next.js, and Vuepress, so I made my own static site generator in Python.
I don't want a GraphQL database for my static site. I just want something to template out my site's boilerplate, and I don't want to deal with Webpack speed, or lack thereof. One file, ~200 loc, and I understand all of it.
The tentatively named Zhi works fast enough for full rebuilds triggered by fswatch. It does one thing and does it well:
fswatch -0 -e .venv -e out . | xargs -0 zhi build
If there's interest in a simple, understandable Jinja-based static site generator, I can clean it up and release it: https://github.com/0az/zhi (empty repo).
