The top 10 SSGs of 2018, according to StaticGen and GitHub

The Static Site Generator (SSG) landscape has seen significant growth, with many projects gaining popularity and accelerating their rate of GitHub stars and Twitter followers. The top 10 SSGs are listed in descending order according to their GitHub stars, with Jekyll maintaining its lead, followed by Next, Hugo, Gatsby, Hexo, GitBook, Nuxt, VuePress, Docusaurus, and Pelican. Each SSG has its unique features, strengths, and weaknesses, catering to different developer preferences and project requirements. The choice of SSG can be overwhelming, but with active communities, resources, and a wide range of programming languages and templating support, developers can find the perfect tool for their needs. This year's rise in popularity of ready-made, opinionated tooling has highlighted the enthusiasm for tools like Gatsby, while Hugo provides rich templating and asset pipelines without bundling JavaScript features automatically.
