I find Jekyll pretty easy to use for both my personal blog and various docs, project, training sites at work.
I don’t know ruby and this is the only ruby Ive ever used and I haven’t gotten stuck yet. And probably spent 15 hours over 3 years or so.
I spend time, as I want to, on the content and not worrying about web stuff.
You can copy and paste our setup in Jekyll and Gitlab pages.
IMHO existing SSG need educated users to produce sophisticated homepages not another SSG. Still jekyll feels rather complicated to use, I described my set-up issues in the post:
