Finch is billed as a simple and fast site generator.
It can be used as a generic static site generator using Markdown files with frontmatter and Jingoo (very similar to Jinja) templates.
The software can also be used as a tiny version of Gatsby, generate static pages from React components. Finch is also a server side renderer to produce static pages with React components that are hydrated by scripts.
This is free and open source software.
