This seems to borrow a lot from Jekyll (http://wiki.github.com/mojombo/jekyll/usage http://wiki.github.com/mojombo/jekyll/usage), or maybe both are borrowing from some common ancestor?
- btucker 17y agoRael Dornfest's http://www.blosxom.com/ http://www.blosxom.com/? I'd say that blazed the trail ~10 years ago for this type of software. I know for me at least, Blosxom was incredibly eye opening.
- cloudhead 17y agoYea, I evaluated jekyll, scanty, webby, aerial and a couple of other similar engines before making this, but none of them really worked the way I wanted.
- spooneybarger 17y agowhat about how jekyll works made you want to do something else?
- cloudhead 17y agoTwo reasons mainly: - I wanted it to play well with Heroku, Jekyll generates files, which is incompatible with the read-only filesystem of heroku. - I wanted something really simple, Jekyll's become a little too heavy for what should be a simple task.
- stanleydrew 17y agoI agree that jekyll's getting a bit heavy, although I'm definitely not even taking full advantage of all it's features. I still don't know much about Heroku though, and this might be a good way to try it out.
