Static Site Generators? #16

Open brianmontanaweb opened 9 years ago

brianmontanaweb commented 9 years ago

There are a ton but the top ones from Jeykll to Wintersmith we could list.

Resource: Github stars by "static site generator"

zsxsoft commented 9 years ago

I don't think the static site generator is the required skill for front-end engineers. Why do you think so?

brianmontanaweb commented 9 years ago

Easy setup for a dynamic site without getting into a database. Great tools for a front end developer that doesn't want to work with back end development.

And you're right this could introduce a new can of worms with including CMSs.

zsxsoft commented 9 years ago

But on the other hand, I'm not sure whether that Meteor or Relay should be included (Even if Relay is RC). They're all front and rear ends interaction framework.

brianmontanaweb commented 9 years ago

I can see Meteor falling under prototyping, Ionic would fit under there too. I've no experience with Relay to comment.

Doh, distracted at work, clicked wrong button.

zsxsoft commented 9 years ago

Sorry, I'm not a native speaker, so I can't get the meaning of 'falling under prototyping' and 'fit under there'.. Can you explain them?

brianmontanaweb commented 9 years ago

Oh sorry! It just means 'categorized in prototyping' for both.

zsxsoft commented 9 years ago

So do I. Here's Relay. To the homepage, the tutorial and the comment from the author of Meteor, I think it is similar to Meteor.. And to Ionic, why?

brianmontanaweb commented 9 years ago

It's all semantics and Ionic's main category is as a framework but it's also used for prototyping.

zsxsoft commented 9 years ago

So why not create a pull request =.=

brianmontanaweb commented 9 years ago

I'll have something later this week :+1:

brianmontanaweb commented 9 years ago

Work and life have been busy this week and An Event Apart in Chicago is next week. I should be able to go through a few updates later today or tomorrow. Dammit, wrong button again.
