General

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_web_page - (sometimes called a flat page/stationary page) is a web page that is delivered to the user exactly as stored, in contrast to dynamic web pages which are generated by a web application. Consequently, a static web page displays the same information for all users, from all contexts, subject to modern capabilities of a web server to negotiate content-type or language of the document where such versions are available and the server is configured to do so.

Static systems



Jekyll

  • Jekyll - a simple, blog-aware, static site generator, written in Ruby. It takes a template directory containing raw text files in various formats, runs it through Markdown (or Textile) and Liquid converters, and spits out a complete, ready-to-publish static website suitable for serving with your favorite web serve 
gem install jekyll
jekyll new myblog
cd myblog
jekyll serve




  • Poole - butler for Jekyll, the static site generator. It's designed and developed by @mdo to provide a clear and concise foundational setup for any Jekyll site. It does so by furnishing a full vanilla Jekyll install with example templates, pages, posts, and styles.





  • Pagoda - Zen like blog editor for your Jekyll blog


  • Octopress - a framework designed for Jekyll, the static blogging engine powering Github Pages. Have a look through the documentation and if you have trouble, I'll be happy to help. If you find errors in the documentation post an issue or fork and send a pull request to the master branch.

Hugo


Staticman

  • https://staticman.net
    • https://github.com/eduardoboucas/staticman - a Node.js application that receives user-generated content and uploads it as data files to a GitHub repository. In practice, this allows you to have dynamic content (e.g. blog post comments) as part of a fully static website, as long as your site automatically deploys on every push to GitHub, as seen on GitHub Pages, Netlify and others. It consists of a small web service that handles the POST requests from your forms, runs various forms of validation and manipulation defined by you and finally pushes them to your repository as data files. You can choose to enable moderation, which means files will be pushed to a separate branch and a pull request will be created for your approval, or disable it completely, meaning that files will be pushed to the main branch automatically.

Daux

  • Daux.io is an documentation generator that uses a simple folder structure and Markdown files to create custom documentation on the fly. It helps you create great looking documentation in a developer friendly way.

soupault

  • soupault - a static website generator based on HTML rewriting.Pretty much like client-side DOM manipulation, just without the browser or interactivity. You can tell it to do things like “insert contents of footer.html file into 
    <div id="footer">
    no matter where that div is in the page”.Here's the elevator pitch: It can extract metadata from existing pages using CSS selectors and produce a section index from it. Supports tables of contents, footnotes, and breadcrumbs out of the box. Preserves existing website structure if required. Single executable with no dependencies.

  • Blot - A blogging platform with no interface. Blot turns a folder into a blog. The point of all this — the reason Blot exists — is so you can use your favorite tools to create whatever you publish.

soupault

  • soupault - a static website generator/framework that works with HTML element trees and can automatically manipulate them. It can be described as a robotic webmaster that can edit HTML pages according to your rules, but doesn’t get tired of editing them. You can use soupault for making blogs and other types of websites, pretty much like any other SSGs (Jekyll, Hugo, Eleventy, etc.). However, you can also use it as a post-processor for existing websites — a use case other tools don’t support. Soupault is highly-configurable, extensible, and designed to give you complete control over your website generation process. [10]

Headless CMS

Decap CMS

  • Decap CMS - formerly Netlify CMS, is an open source content management system for your Git workflow that enables you to provide editors with a friendly UI and intuitive workflows. You can use it with any static site generator to create faster, more flexible web projects. Content is stored in your Git repository alongside your code for easier versioning, multi-channel publishing, and the option to handle content updates directly in Git. At its core, Decap CMS is an open-source React app that acts as a wrapper for the Git workflow, using the GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket API.

coisas

  • https://github.com/fiatjaf/coisas - a headless CMS specifically designed to let you edit files hosted in a GitHub repository. It is similar to Netlify CMS and Prose. Unlike existing alternatives, coisas doesn't try to be a multipurpose CMS. It still lets you edit, create, upload, and browse files, but doesn't try to look like a fancy CMS (custom schema, objects and all that mess). It also isn't tailored to Jekyll websites, which means that it won't insert Jekyll specific code or expect your repository to have a Jekyll-specific file structure.


Sanity

  • Sanity - a real-time content infrastructure. The editor, built in JavaScript and React.js, lives in this repo. It connects to a scalable, hosted backend featuring a Graph Oriented Query Language (GROQ), asset pipelines and fast edge caches.

itty bitty

  • itty bitty sites sites are contained entirely within their own link. (Including this one!) This means they're... 💼 Portable - you don't need a server to host them, 👁 Private - nothing is sent to–or stored on–this server, 🎁 Easy to share as a link or QR code. Itty bitty sites can hold about as much as a printed page, and there is a lot you can do with that: ✒️ Compose poetry. 🛠 Create an app. 🐦 Bypass a 140 280 char limit. 🎨 Express yourself in ascii
