Continuing my series of tool posts, today is Metalsmith’s turn.

It piggybacks on Node’s infrastructure (npm in particular) and advertises itself as being pluggable. The core is minimal, allowing it to become more than just a static site generator with relevant plugins.

Starting with it should be no harder than with some other SSG’s like Hugo. The docs even provide some starter projects and a Netlify template for one-click deploy.

Share what you think about it and your personal experience with this tool in the comments.
