I run my blog with Lektor on Netlify (no affiliation with either, except I recently became a Lektor co-maintainer) and deploying literally gives me happy feelings. It's amazing to be able to just deploy your blog wherever you want, and Netlify have done a great job at being a deployment target.

I used to live lektor, but thought it died. Hope to see it start moving again.

I don't think it died, plus it's pretty feature-complete as is, I've never had difficulty doing anything. The upside is that it's much easier to use than Hugo, which I never managed to get running. I haven't played with many other alternatives, if anyone knows of a static site generator that isn't specifically blog-oriented (i.e. something with an agnostic model), please let me know.

Hugo is pretty agnostic for the content but is a pain to use imo. I'm working on Zola (https://www.getzola.org/) in order to have something simpler. It doesn't have all the features (eg multiple language sites) of Hugo yet but it's getting there. Working for things other than blog was very important, so you can implement something like gitbook in 3 small templates: https://zola-book.netlify.com/chapter1/ (source at https://github.com/getzola/book).

Is that not what Jekyll is? or maybe it's become more blog-centric since I used it.

Last I checked it was pretty blog-centric, but I didn't try in depth, I saw that somewhere and it put me off. Is it not?
