Replying to @juanluisback

I'm essentially deciding between Sphinx (has nice themes these days, but too complex?), MkDocs (looks simple and has nice themes), Jekyll (Ruby), Ghost (Node,js I believe, seems to generate more excitement these days), or giving up on static site generators altogether.
 Sun Apr 18 17:41:52 +0000 2021


Replying to @juanluisback

Context: I have a couple of sites in @getpelican because I'm a Python person (but not a web person). Many plugins are super outdated, I keep seeing the same ugly themes, and doesn't look super maintained (same feelings for @GetNikola and @getlektor). Looking for alternatives.
 Sun Apr 18 17:41:52 +0000 2021


What are your current views on open source static site generators? Useful, or not worth the effort? And if useful, which ones do you love?

Replying to @jmayer and @rdbisme

Hi @jmayer, thanks for chiming in! I know it doesn't sound fair, sorry for that. Let me rephrase: I've seen releases recently, but some plugins seem stalled in the migration, and the themes don't look very polished to my eye. This is not Pelican's fault, but it affects my view.
 Sun Apr 18 18:02:22 +0000 2021


Replying to @jmayer and @rdbisme

This is great to know! Looking forward to it. To be honest, this thread was prompted because I wanted to integrate Font Awesome on my Pelican site, and I found a couple of plugins, last updated in 2015 and 2016. Neither worked first time, and this frustrated me.
 Sun Apr 18 18:04:01 +0000 2021


Replying to @rdbisme, @getpelican and @getlektor

"Anyway, the technology stack behind is not that important imho. The availability of cool themes and useful plugins is more important"

You know, after so many years being "the Python guy", this is still difficult for me. I know it sounds silly... I'm trying to be mre agnostic 😅
 Sun Apr 18 18:06:28 +0000 2021


Replying to @rdbisme, @getpelican and @getlektor

In any case, it contradicts with

> Also, the possibility of fast programming your own plugins counts too.

because, at the moment, I could code a plugin using Python, but probably not much else.

Although now that I write this... perhaps it's a self-inflicted limitation 🤔
 Sun Apr 18 18:07:14 +0000 2021


Replying to @jmayer and @rdbisme

I think most of the plugins I use are migrated already (jupyter, summary, liquid-tags). I just realized that feed_summary got deprecated (I need to open an issue about that!). pelicanfly and pelican-fontawesome look abandoned.

Yelling (or equivalent) to others online should never, ever, happen. I 100 % agree with @brettsky in calling it "unethical". But I think this "social contract of open source" is quite incomplete, and misses a lot of viewpoints that deserve some closer inspection, IMHO.

I think this misses at least two key pieces:

- open source/free software activists that push others to use FLOSS, *because it's FLOSS*,
- people *forced* to use a certain FLOSS for whatever reason (e.g. their team chose it).

What prevents maintainers of pure Python packages from uploading wheels to PyPI?
