I can't imagine picking Jekyll today.

I moved to Hugo after years of suffering long builds. Jekyll's stack complexity meant CI/CD was hard to implement and it just wasn't that fast. Hugo wasn't just fast, it had everything baked in. The only problem (back then) was the lack of useful feedback. It'd just build omitting half the site.

Now I use Astro. Simple to understand, none of the dark magicks that Hugo relies on to work, and Quick Enough™. It's well supported and it integrates with all the frontend/design tools I was already using.

Pagefind is stupidly easy to integrate. And it's what you probably ought to be using whatever your SSG. https://github.com/shishkin/astro-pagefind
