Folks Making Their Own Website Builders
Hacking HTML Behind The Scenes
Saw a post go by of another person making their own static site generator1. Figured I'd start making a collection of folks who make their own website builders.
- Declan Chidlow - who runs vale.rocks off of Adduce
- Jeremy Keith - mentioned in a Blog Question Challenge that adactio.com is run off a "hand-cobbled mix of PHP and MySQL".
- Molly White built a static timeline generator and annotate. I think I saw mention of something else. I'm guessing either those or another home grown creation is used for mollywhite.net and/or the other sites Molly runs.
- Paul Anthony Webb - webb.page - I'm pretty sure I saw this was a home built SSG. A quick glance didn't find the reference, but how the hell else would you build a site like this?
More To Follow
I know I've seen others. The idea of making this list hadn't occurred yet. I'll be keeping a closer eye out now.
If you know of any, shoot me a note on Mastodon or Bluesky
