I have nothing to add other than Jekyll has been rock solid for me for, what, like a decade plus now?
I've ran swiftjectivec.com on it, and it's always been the perfect middle ground of taking care of the cruft I don't want to deal with, while allowing me to get my hands dirty and code when I want. Some of my favorite software ever.
I built endoflife.date with it, and it has been great. If I had to do it again, I might pick Mediawiki (or something similar) due to it being a community wiki more than a static site, but Jekyll hasn’t let us down yet.
This is so cool, bookmarked it. It sort of get the impression that Jekyll is slowing turning away from being a boring static site generator to something way interesting.
I’ve always been a big fan of Jekyll because it’s so easy to use & so stable. This adds a lot of value to the ecosystem. I’ve built a bunch of faculty websites over the years where I needed a lot of structured, repetitive data (papers, honors/awards, etc.). It would have been so much easier to manage if I could have stored that data in a database instead of just flat files.

Now it's easier to generate static sites that aren't so boring!
what is wrong with "being a boring static site generator"?
In this article I show you a project on how to develop a static blog in jekyll. https://chat-to.dev/post?id=296
In this one I show how to host it in various stupid ways https://fev.al/posts/blog-infra/
Though the idea of using a database to store the content could make things even better. Maybe sprinkle some redundant postgres?

Wow, cool stuff!
Thanks!
