I build my own with Jinja2 templates my custom python script + mistune library to parse markdown to html, and a YAML file in similar format to Hugo (the previous generator i used to use)

I found building my own custom one with python3, much more freeing in all sorts of interesting ways, I also exposed the static site generator with a FastAPI based API to auto build my website from my notes, my cooking recipes, database records, financials, git commits, etc to build me a private protected website (via nginx auth) from anywhere, whether via sending a text message to my telegram bot, or running a Shortcuts command on my iPad, or just directly running a command from my terminal.

It took barely a day to setup, and allows me to run interesting custom extensions in all sorts of interesting ways, and builds me a personal website curated to my interest, where the primary viewer is supposed to be me. and it exposes a public barebones website with barely any content for everyone else.

One of these days I think i’ll expose more of it to the world.
