I’m looking for a tool to generate a simple personal website (like an online business card) to self host. Preferably a static site generator.

I’m now using Hugo, but it does too much for me and changes too often. (I can’t update my current page, because the template is no longer arond)

    I found BashWrite which is just a very simple static site generator written completely in bash as a single file script.

    The only dependency is having an up-to-date sed command which most systems should have. I use Alpine Linux which comes with a minimal sed command so I had to download the full command through my package manager.

    It’s simple, basic and has support for the majority of markdown formatting. There’s some limitations due to it being written in Bash only but I am personally okay with that.

    I found it on this list of static site generators if you’re curious to see more options.
