You can see it in action at https://nicolino.ralsina.me and of course GitHub - ralsina/nicolino: A not-quite-minimalisting SSG written in Crystal
Yes, there are hundreds of these, and yes, there is no reason to use this specific one. I have not even migrated my site!
BUT:
- It’s a single static binary
- It’s pretty fast (within 10% of Hugo in markdown benchmarks)
- It has incremental builds, parallel builds, and so on (thanks to GitHub - ralsina/croupier: A library to create and execute tasks with dependencies)
- It has image gallery support which is probably the fastest you will ever find (thanks to libvips)
- And many other niceties.
