From the original post:<p>&gt; There is very little innovation in that space and that&#x27;s a bit unfortunate<p>I&#x27;ll have to respectfully disagree with Armin here, but perhaps I map the terrain a little differently than he does.<p>In addition to the half-dozen tools he names, which are more narrowly targeted at blog-like static sites, the broader space of asset pipelines and static generation is seeing a lot of innovation. I&#x27;d point to Gulp and Rails&#x27; latest as a sign that there&#x27;s more work to do here. Even strictly in the Django world, there are a zillion asset-pipeline-like-apps; django-compressor and django-pipeline, the two most used, are quite different in their approach and philosophy.<p>I&#x27;m excited by this proliferation of tools for generating static web content &quot;offline&quot; and expect to see far more in the future. Lektor looks like another interesting piece to the puzzle, particularly in its focus on end-users rather than programmers. (Anyone remember Movable Type? That&#x27;s probably the first user-centric static site generator to gain widespread use?)
