I have created a plugin for Zim that enables a more advanced site generation. The plugin prepares Markdown pages with attributes and calls Pandoc to generate an HTML site from Markdown. The pages have YAML attributes that guide the transformation. Each page can be generated with its own template. The plugin has support for news-like pages with automatic index generation.

The documentation for the plugin generated by the plugin is at https://mmahnic.github.io/zim-siteexporter-doc/

The plugin was only tested with Zim 0.68; I didn't have time to test it with newer versions.

Since Pandoc is used for final generation, I guess the plugin could be adapted to prepare other types of documents, not only HTML sites.

Agreed. I would say Zim and Jekyll have different objectives.

Zim:
Mostly content for private consumption
Quick note taking and format
Still can be exported to html, pdf, markdown
Can publish a basic website
Simple layout
WYSIWYG
Best, quick and practical, note taking app I have tested
Can be improved on TODOs management

Jekyll:
Mostly content for public consumption
Generate website from markdown
Very customizable, with a themes
Not WYSIWYG, so you probably should use a markdown editor
Bigger community, more extensions and integrations

Others I had a look:
Website generators

Desktop - Private/draft note applications

(some are markdown)

Android (Note/Todo)
- Similar to Zim journal
- Also use everyday like Zim
- Org mode
- Todo txt
- Mobile most similar to Zim
- Not WYSIWG
- Some glitches sometimes

Markdown editors

Others
