A proof-of-concept inspired and enabled by Hosting SQLite Databases on Github Pages and the ensuing Hacker News post. The compiled single-page app supports autocomplete for titles, automatic redirecting & other MediaWiki datasets like WikiQuote or Chinese Wikipedia. It makes no external API calls except to get Wikipedia's images.
Seems ideal for making offline copies of Wikipedia (or other Mediawiki installs, it's implied) available.

Has instructions for turning an XML dump of Wikipedia into a SQLite database; unfortunately it uses node.js.

Sigal is yet another simple static gallery generator. It’s written in Python and it allows to build a static gallery of images. The idea behind Sigal is to ease the use of the javascript libraries like galleria. These libraries do a great job to display the images, Sigal does what is missing: resize images, create thumbnails, generate HTML pages. Doesn't seem to let you put descriptions or comments on your pictures, though. EXIF tag aware. Processes directories of images recursively. Only processes new images unless you tell it not to. In some ways, seems to work like Pelican.
There is a native Arch Linux package, too.
A very simple static homepage for your server. No build process involved. Edit a YAML file, add titles, icons, and links to the services running on the server, load it in a browser. Unusually pretty, unusually handy. Never thought I'd like it.
Static security analyzer for Golang code. Checks against the Golang AST. Tries to verify some best practices (no hardcoded credentials, listening on 0.0.0.0 by default, things like that. Has all of the usual CLI options you'd hope it has.
Jekyll is a static blog implemented using Bootstrap meant for use by developers and designers. It was specifically designed to be deployed as a Github Page for development projects. Has an online installer. If you need something fast and easy, this is a good possibility.
No database. Uses Git on the back end.
The main thrust of the article is how to whip together a quick and dirty HTTP server for static pages using Python and Cherrypy. I saved this article because the worst-ranked response also tells you how to hardcode (read, make configurable at runtime) the port and IP address a CherryPy instance listens on.
cherrypy.server.socket_port = 80
cherrypy.server.socket_host = '0.0.0.0'
