## What it is
StaticGen.com is a Gatsby-built leaderboard website that ranks open-source static site generators by GitHub/GitLab stars, forks, and Twitter followers. The project has moved to jamstack.org/generators and this repository is no longer actively developed.

## Use cases
- find the best static site generator for my project
- compare static site generators by github stars
- browse a list of open-source SSGs by language and template engine
- discover jamstack site generators
- find a static site generator for documentation sites
- check popularity rankings of static site generators

## When to choose
- you want a curated, filterable directory of static site generators with live popularity stats
- you want to compare SSGs by language, template engine, or license
- you want to submit your own open-source static site generator to a public leaderboard

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - the site moved to jamstack.org/generators and this repo's last release was 2020
- you need a static site generator itself rather than a directory of them
- you need up-to-date stats without supplying your own GitHub, GitLab, and Twitter API tokens
