VisitJekyll vs Stapy
What both publish
| Fact | Jekyll | Stapy |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Because output is static, Jekyll sites can be deployed manually, through automation or with third-party hosting. | The documentation describes publishing the generated production files through SFTP or platforms such as Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, and GitHub Pages. |
| Plugins | A plugin system with hooks lets users generate custom content and extend the build process without modifying Jekyll itself. | Python plugins can modify content and page data during rendering, handle HTTP requests, or provide custom template methods. |
| Purpose | Jekyll transforms plain text into static websites and blogs. | Stapy is a static site generator that works with Python on any operating system without additional packages. |
| Themes | The theme system packages layouts, includes, stylesheets, assets and plugins, and site files can override theme defaults. | Themes can inherit from a parent theme, and theme files can override parent theme files. |
