Jekyll Description

Forget about databases, comment moderation, and annoying updates; simply focus on your content. You can input Markdown, Liquid, HTML, and CSS, and in return, receive static sites that are fully prepared for deployment. Features like permalinks, categories, pages, posts, and custom layouts are all given priority here. Tired of the hassle with hosting services? GitHub Pages, powered by Jekyll, allows you to deploy your site for free, complete with a custom domain. Jekyll functions as a static site generator, transforming text written in your preferred markup language into a polished static website using layouts. You have the flexibility to adjust the site's aesthetics, URLs, and the information presented on each page. The Jekyll gem provides you with a jekyll executable in your terminal, which you'll typically use with jekyll serve for local development and jekyll build for production site generation. If you need to modify Jekyll's standard build settings, explore the various configuration options available. Ultimately, Jekyll simplifies the process of creating and managing static websites, making it an excellent choice for developers.

    Solid ruby static site generator

    Date: Jul 30 2022

    Summary: Jekyll is probably the best option if you need to build a static site using Ruby, but its feature set is limited compared to JavaScript based alternatives.

    Positive: - easy to start a site
    - runs on ruby, which doesn't have many options in the web space
    - puts the focus on writing content rather than maintaining a site
    - good documentation
    - free

    Negative: - not a ton of features compared to Gatsby, nuxt, next, etc
