Personally I made my own static site generator [1][2], which has been a lot of fun, and fairly easy to implement (you just need a solid markdown to html converter, preferrably going further than commonmark standards).

For hosting I use the free tier of Firebase... `Firebase deploy` and Voila. You get not only free hosting but the ability to revert and free around the globe CDN. Pretty darn fast.

I would also roll my own. I've tried several generators and there is always something that doesn't quite work how I want it to and the documentation is often bad and outdated.

When you roll your own not only is it way simpler than existing solutions it won't change from under you. I blog very infrequently and often from different machines or operating systems, the last generator I used had completely changed between posts and I either had to relearn how it worked or make my own.

I followed a similar path. Forked the pug templating language and adapted it for my needs. It's kind of crude at the moment but it's already powering my website.
