  • Nikola

    A static website and blog generator

  • I tend to prefer static site generators for this kind of use case. I use Nikola, which is written in and based on Python. You should be able to pick whatever html5up template you like and turn it into a Nikola template, too.

  • sphinx

    The Sphinx documentation generator

  • An actual Python static site tool that is very valuable to get proficient with is SphinxSphinx - it's primarily used for auto-code documentation (like ReadTheDocs) but I'm sure it's flexible for other things.

  • camply

    camply, the campsite finder ⛺️ - a tool to find campsites at sold out campgrounds through sites like recreation.gov

  • Here's a personal page built with Jekyll: https://juftin.com. And here's a Sphinx Page: https://juftin.com/camply. Both are actually hosted on GitHub pages for free.

  • personal-website

    My personal website (by jcoelho93)

  • Just use my template https://github.com/jcoelho93/personal-website

  • bedrock-schema-docs

    Auto generated documentation from the Schemas by Blockception

  • The github project is here.. The entire tag builder is just ~100 lines.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
