Features

  1. Generates pages from data
  2. Handles layout attribute in pages
  3. Handles markdown documents

Why?

Jekyll is awesome but it doesn't support creating pages purely from data out of the box and I don't know Ruby to hack it so I wrote my own site generator with only the features I needed. I think the logic I've written for handling layouts is kindda neat, worthy of publishing and also this project can show that sometimes re-inventing the wheel can not only be fun but simple.
