It takes a template directory (representing the raw form of a website), runs it through and Liquid converters, and spits out a complete, static website suitable for serving with Apache or your favorite web server' and is a very popular Blog Publishing tool in the social & communications category. There are more than 100 alternatives to Jekyll for a variety of platforms, including Self-Hosted, Web-based, Windows, Linux and Mac apps. The best Jekyll alternative is WordPress, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Jekyll are Ghost, Drupal, Hugo and Astro Web Framework.
