Ask HN: Best Static Site Builder?
The best CMS is the filesystem. Don't be afraid to just write HTML and use it.<p>For my personal site I write html posts as discrete files with filenames that allow me to use bash to cat them easily into pages. Then every time I write a new post for the blog I just run something like, ls -v 2019-*.html | tac | xargs cat > blog-2019.html<p>To style the raw posts themselves I use HTTP header linked CSS (<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html#h-14.6" rel="nofollow">https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html#h-14.6</a>). It doesn't work in every browser but I don't care about every browser. That's the joy of personal sites. You can just do what you want.<p>For generating the RSS feed I wrote a small perl script. Everything is hosted from home with nginx running on my main desktop over a cable ISP connection.
