Jekyll in the Wild
Aug 30, 2025
Finding sites using this ssg sparks joy.
I’ve learned long before Alex Chan’s site was made with Jekyll. After researching for Ruby on Rails, I then stumbled upon Yoko Harada’s (yokolet) website. Just recently, and I can’t believe I’m just knowing this now, Jan Wildeboer’s web home is also Jekyll under the hood. There was also a stirr about a certain Ai post by Anthony Moser, another Jekyll site.
When I decided to create a personal site I was lead to believe that I need to go big or go latest with the frameworks and fancy tech. Turns out all I needed was what I started with. And a lot of people in the web still use it after all.
