Hi, author of nanoc here. This morning I’ve been playing around with Stasis and it does look like a nice tool for building and maintaining simple sites. I like the controller-based approach!

Now, here’s a quick (and undoubtedly biased) comparison between Stasis and nanoc.

Stasis and nanoc serve a different audience. Stasis is simple, nanoc is powerful. If I want to quickly build a simple site, I might even use Stasis instead of nanoc… :)

nanoc, quite unlike Stasis, focuses on being powerful and flexible. Due to this, it is not as simple as other site generators. You can build any site you want with nanoc!

For Stasis to be more powerful, it would need to support metadata, custom filters and multiple representations… perhaps more… but then it would leave its original scope and people would say about Stasis that it is too complex. :)
