BSSG – My journey from dynamic CMS to bash static site generator


Announcing the public release of BSSG, a Bash Static Site Generator born from a personal journey away from complex dynamic CMS. Discover a simple, portable alternative for your blog.

I intended to use it only and exclusively for small private things, starting with a sort of diary of mine - more professional than personal - and leave the 'official' blogs to more tested and 'professional' tools. The code isn't extremely consistent, some interesting features are missing (which I plan to implement), and it could use refactoring as the build script is monstrously large. ✅ Essential Features: Supports RSS feed generation, sitemap.xml, OpenGraph tags (to improve social sharing), internationalization (the blog can be in languages other than English – but not multilingual, at least for now), etc.
