Static site generator solution for developers

About VuePress

Minimal setup with markdown-centered project structure helps you focus on writing. Enjoy the dev experience of Vue + webpack, use Vue components in markdown, and develop custom themes with Vue. VuePress generates pre-rendered static HTML for each page, and runs as an SPA once a page is loaded. A VuePress site is in fact a SPA powered by Vue (opens new window), Vue Router (opens new window)and webpack (opens new window). If you’ve used Vue before, you will notice the familiar development experience when you are writing or developing custom themes (you can even use Vue DevTools to debug your custom theme!).

    "A slim, content-centric static site generator for Vue"

    Posted 2022-07-29

    Pros: - Vue-based static site generation means extremely high performance site.
    - Content-centric design makes it easy to focus on writing, compared to something like Nuxt which is more focused at large webapps.
    - Nice, minimalistic design, with a theming system.
    - Extensible via plugins (and custom code).
    - Default theme designed for writing technical documentation.

    Cons: - Not as fully-featured as something like Nuxt or Next.js

    Overall: VuePress is a very nicely designed static site generator for the Vue web framework. While its applications are limited to simple but text heavy sites, like technical documentation, it is extremely performant and easy to set up.
