How is this different from Octopress? In Octopress you can simply edit markdown files and then generate html.

I don't know Octopress, this is just my tool and it's probably worst than all the others but it fits my needs

Just for fun is a perfectly good reason for anything!

Also, I have saved a lot of time looking around for existing solutions than just doing it myself. :)

Just saw a little bit Octopress, it seems you need a local server to see your files, I don't like that, Gugodoc produces only static html files. you just need to open them with a browser and that's all

[chanux]

The server part in Octopress (and other static site generators are there just for convenience and to and see how it really works when you host the site I guess.)

[MeyerDumont]

Not sure, If you don't run the server you can't see anything because often the templating is done by the server

[rajeevk]

The Octopress generates static html. No templating at server side. You can host output html to any static host like github pages.
