Nikola tagline

Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python. It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn Jupyter Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image galleries, and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds are extremely fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what has been changed).

Unlike many other generators, Nikola comes with batteries included and offers many features out of the box, making it easy to create a modern website.

I am a co-maintainer of Nikola, responsible for a sizeable fraction of commits — but I am not the one who did the most work and came up with the idea (it was Roberto Alsina).

This very website is powered by Nikola.
