Style guide research

[buttonwillowsix]

Do research about the latest and greatest tools for making a styleguide, using KSS. Look at what Rivet is using

[buttonwillowsix]

Rivet uses Hugo. https://gohugo.io/

[buttonwillowsix]

Sort of interesting, but probably not for this: https://www.drupal.org/project/kss

Another example of another style guide doc site (esp. figma docs): https://primer.style/

Gah. https://www.frontify.com/en/pattern-library/

These look neat.

• Hexo
• Brunch
• Metalsmith
• Eleventy

swig templates look a lot like twig templates https://node-swig.github.io/swig-templates/

I feel like I ran into Metalsmith in my travels, too. Jekyll is also likely to come up.

At first glance, Hexo looks pretty good since it's node based and supports twig. This page compares Hugo/Hexo/Jekyll and talks about Gatsby. The page has weird fonts but the info seems honest. https://www.techiediaries.com/jekyll-hugo-hexo/

[sherakama]

If you have a preference for unopinionated frameworks, Metalsmith is about as unopinionated as you can get.

^ But that means more setup work. ^ But it also means we would be able to write a plugin to handle the KSS rendering.

(EDIT) Or someone else did: https://www.npmjs.com/package/metalsmith-kss

[sherakama]

Metalsmith is neat but too old. Most of the available packages have not been maintained and are out of date.

Hexo looks like our leader.
