Adding a static site generator

[526avijitgupta]

Dividing into multiple sub-tasks:

• Deciding on which static site generator to use:

• The most popular ones are Jekyll, Metalsmith, Hugo, Middleman etc.
• We can also consider building our own static site generator from the ground up for finer control !

• Having the basic setup in place

For now, we could just use Gulp.

• Better to use npm scripts instead of gulp/grunt - I mean, have a look at this: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/why-i-left-gulp-and-grunt-for-npm-scripts-3d6853dd22b8

• We'll have to write our custom css and styling ourselves then. I'm not sure if investing time into that is worth it

wdyt ?

• we should definitely opt for npm scripts for task automation.
• writing our own CSS means more contribution from newbies and a finer control over things, however, it's definitely more time-consuming.

Is time at which we are more concerned? , I mean that that investment of time can prove to be a boon.
