Features & Specs

  • Speed and Performance

    Jekyll generates static websites, which means they load faster compared to dynamic websites. No database queries are required, reducing server overhead and improving performance.

  • Security

    Static sites have a smaller attack surface compared to dynamic sites because they don’t rely on databases or server-side code. This means fewer vectors for potential compromises.

  • Simplicity

    Jekyll setups are relatively straightforward, especially if you are comfortable writing in Markdown and HTML. This can make it easier to manage and maintain your website.

  • Integration with GitHub Pages

    Jekyll is designed to work seamlessly with GitHub Pages, allowing you to host your website for free with automatic deployment directly from your GitHub repository.

  • Customizability

    Jekyll allows for extensive customization through its support for plugins, themes, and templates. This can be helpful to create a unique look and functionality for your website.

      I use Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com). I’d switch to Hugo, but every time I try, I give up. It’s not that I can’t, it’s too much up-front investment and fiddling than I care to deal with (recommendations and tips appreciated).

    • Recovering My Blog with Jekyll and Proxmox

      Today I decided to try and update the Jekyll theme for this site, Chirpy. If you’ve watched the blog or gone to this blog’s status page you probably noticed it was down for a few hours today. Needless to say, things didn’t go as planned. It turns out that the last time I tried to update/recreate the blog site I chose the Chirpy Starter option instead of the Github Fork option, and in trying to update it the whole…

    • Starlight vs. Docusaurus for building documentation

      In that case, what we need would be closer to a static site generator (like Gatsby, Hugo, Jekyll). But, static site generators aren’t the best choice either because we would have to build a lot of documentation-focused functionality (like versioning, search, and code blocks) ourselves.

    • Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform

      In future, if you want to move from Jekyll to something else, you just have to worry about that `_posts` and `_assets` folder. They may have different naming convention but you can just config-managed it or change it to your choice. This is why I suggested owning that two yourself. You also may not worry about FrontMatter[3] (meta in the header) and its accompanying jazz by asking Jekyll to use the plugins…

    • Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform

      As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g….

    • How to run Jekyll on Kubernetes

      I created my blog using Jekyll, a great open-source tool that can transform your markdown content into a simple, old-fashioned-but-trendy, static site.

      What are the advantages of this approach?

      The site is super-light, super-fast, super-secure and SEO-friendly. Of course, it’s not always the best solution, but for some use cases, like a simple personal blog, it’s really a good option.

    • Do we really need variadics?

      I’m using bridgetown because I like sitting on the bleeding edge, its basically a newer Jekyll which I would recommend checking out too. Bridgetown has a great modern dev experience but its missing some of the ecosystem from Jekyll. Not a problem for me because I’m really comfortable with Ruby.

    • How would I make and deploy a simple website

      If I wanted to post a simple website today I would look into Jekyll. There are a ton of articles and answers to common questions etc. It itself is written in Ruby but using it will not likely help you to learn Ruby. One-step in the direction of learning Ruby and getting a simple website could be Bridgetown. This will start you down a path of learning Ruby and not Rails. We use Bridgetown for our company site at…

    • Would you use Terraform to manage a blog?

      You are writing entries in markdown, once uploaded, how does it become “usable content” ? A static site generator (eg: https://jekyllrb.com/) does additional steps prior to pushing up – templates, cross referencing, table of content, etc. There is a-lot of heavy lifting done in that engine.

    • Should you be blogging as a software developer?

      The other option is to have your own custom website either by hosting your own blogging platform such as WordPress, Ghost or by setting up a static website with Hugo, Gatsby or Jekyll.
