If you do it for the love of the game, definitely. It's a fun little project.

I rolled my own because I wanted to use Jinja inside Markdown. This lets me include widgets in the content, and use Python-based constants in the text. For example, when the German minimum wage changes, I change one constant and it triggers a bunch of updates across the website.

I also wanted to control the content-to-website pipeline a little better. The SSG builds pages, but also generates text-to-speech audio for glossary terms, makes some typographic changes, and lints the Markdown for site-specific issues.

I wrote a bit about it here: https://nicolasbouliane.com/projects/ursus
