Can anyone recommend a decent static site generator?
I used to use Jekyll, but maintaining a working Ruby installation is nigromancy I never mastered.
@phill I've used a bunch and I'm sticking with 11ty as it's really simple and easy to maintain.
IMHO (opinions vary here) the developer experience for _more complex_ stuff (e.g. if you're building a component - heavy project) could be better.
I personally like that because I have fewer excuses to yak shave instead of writing.
Sveltekit and Next.js are nice too. IMHO Sveltekit feels closer to working with regular HTML. I use both for other projects.
All work with vercel/netlify OOTB.
@phill My suggestion would be to start with 11ty (https://www.11ty.dev) with a simple tutorial (Quickstart in 2 steps or their "6-minute blog").
If you don't like it, try svelte kit or next.
I'd say that the 11ty and svelte kit communities are a bit more responsive[*], but ofc nextjs will have a tonne of online resources.
[*] people actually responding to help me solve fairly niche problems
