## What it is
Hyde is a Python-based static website generator inspired by Jekyll, using Jinja2 templates with a plugin architecture, hierarchical metadata, and built-in preview server. It supports site creation, generation, serving, and publishing to targets like GitHub Pages, S3, and SFTP.

## Use cases
- generate a static website from templates
- build a blog with a static site generator in python
- publish a static site to github pages
- preview a static site locally with auto regeneration
- jekyll alternative written in python

## When to choose
- you want a Python-based Jekyll alternative with Jinja2 templating
- you need an extensible plugin system for content transformations
- you want built-in publishing to GitHub Pages, S3, or SFTP

## When to avoid
- you need Python 3 support, which is incomplete
- you want an actively maintained tool with recent fixes
- you need a modern static site generator with a large ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: static-site-generator, templating, cli
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, documentation
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: jinja2, blog-engine, python2, unmaintained, jekyll-alternative
