I wrote a static site generator for a course web site (https://comp127.macalester.digital/f25/). I like it, and I’m poking at documenting and open-sourcing it so that other instructors can use it for their own courses if they want to.

It needs a cute name. Suggestion box is now open in the replies.

EDIT: I was a fool to mention Moodle in the original version. It’s wrecked the replies: everyone’s talking about LMSes, and all the name suggestions are about Moodle — when the point is that this is not anti-Moodle, but a tool to solve a different set of problems.

@inthehands Back when Covid happened I redesigned all my courses to work in Blackboard. Then the university system decided the next year that we had to switch to Canvas, and I redesigned them again. I have played with Moodle, which as I remember is open-source and non-corporate. Is it really worse than these two corporate monsters? It is hard to imagine.
