Static website generators have been around for ages. Though, but they were not popular like dynamic websites with database back-end web applications, most likely because dynamic rich websites are easy to edit, update and manage through a fancy dashboard like WordPress and Joomla.
I have good experience with static generators using Nuxt, Next, Hugo, I even build mine using Nuxt aiming to evolve it as a data portal in the next few months. Although the concept of the static generator is old, it's trending again.
There are many static website generators with popular languages like Python, JavaScript (NodeJS), Go, Ruby, C#, Haskell and PHP.
Static website generators are easy to use for developers, geeks and hackers with good coding skills, but they are hard for normal users "Humans". Here we are presenting Publii a static website generator desktop application that built for humans.
