Re: "Artick - A static site generator supporting HTML and Gemtext"
@zzo38 what do you mean omit the CSS if no colors/fonts have been specified? There sort of needs to be CSS given that the default page format has some styling and isn't just bare HTML.
I couldn't find your ssg so I am curious what features are missing from mine, so I know what to work on.

About omit CSS, I mean that it seems that plain HTML would be suitable (looking at it, looks like OK); some people might want to use a static site generator without adding CSS. (Some people who view HTML also like to use it without CSS, and the author also might want to use the user's default settings. Of course that is not always the case, but not everyone likes the CSS even if you use HTML.)
Some features of mine are: character set switching, ability to embed the output from external programs, templates, sequence numbers, command files. (Some features that you have that I don't have (yet) are: footnotes, references.) (Mine is called "asciitoscorp" and is in GitHub. As I had said currently the output formats are also different (which is the reason for the name, actually), but additional output formats may be added later if anyone decides to do so.)
(Some of these might be you consider to be out of scope of what you intend to make; I don't know. Of course there are many static site generators and have different features; they don't all need to have same things and they will be difference than each other. (For example, I think some might also support Gopher.))
Artick - A static site generator supporting HTML and Gemtext — I've created Artick, which is a static site generator that can export to HTML and Gemtext. It has its own format that it converts to either (and possibly more in the future) so you don't have to worry about keeping HTTP and Gemini versions of your site in sync. As well as that, you can assign pages /groups/, and every group is given its own page. This makes site navigation easier, and is my preferred alternative to the...
