static website generator - eviltoast

Hello everyone! I was thinking about starting a website where to dump some guides on stuff Iearn about selfhosting and general IT stuff.

I don’t want a WordPress or similar. I want static pages (but I’m ok with some JavaScript for navigation maybe, or for proper display on different kind of devices). Ideally I’d like to host it on an AWS S3 bucket since it has the built-in option for static hosting.

I could even go back to the '90s and do it myself from scratch in textedit and html by hand, but I’m pretty sure there are better options out there.

I took a look at Hugo but even that it seems overly complicated for what I need.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

    I recently built a site with hugo. Its very easy. You pick a theme, then write some markdown files. And when you need flexibility, you have it for later. I also think it’s the most popular right now, which lends to a lot of themes to pick from and a lot of cpmmunity support.
