It's yet another static site generator. Have you seen jekyll? hyde? Yup. Like those.

I can see how I would pick all of them. But how do I pick just the top 3?

jinja2 is powerful enough to do this using good ol' python slicing, but I hadn't tried it until now! v4.5.10 - just pushed - supports slices.

{% for news in site.news[0:3] %}
...
{% endfor %}

Awesome!

In looking at the other issue you're having, #29, I realized that site.news[0:3] will give the three oldest news items.

site.news[-3:] is what we want here, I think.
