Thanks for the upvote. The front page is quite bloated so I'll take the blame for that. The backend also uses a few third party javascript libraries.
The best way to describe the service is as a combined Content Management System and Hosting Service for Jekyll sites. Here's a few of the features in more detail.
* Multi-Site management
* Template Editor - A code editor[1] to manage partials, layouts, pages, etc.
* Template Picker - Ability to pick from a handful of Jekyll themes and the ability to import from any public git repository.
* A Markdown Editor for Posts - Markdown is parsed on the fly so you can see a rough preview (Not styled to the theme).
* Site Previews - You can preview the sites before publishing them to the public. Can be considered somewhat of a staging environment.
* Media Uploader - A very simple media uploader for images. Media can be inserted into posts easily.
* Private Git Repositories for each site - You can add your public ssh key to be able to clone the sites and develop locally.
* Hosting - (Paid service) Hosting is backed by CDN enabled Rackspace CloudFiles. Deploying sites is just a simple click.
Goals:
* Support for other static site generators besides Jekyll, such as Hugo, Middleman, Pelican, etc.
* Support for Collections[2]
* Expand Open Source Project - The project basically allows anyone to run their own "Statixite" and configure their own deployment/hosting solution.
* Expand templates (Thanks Jekyll theme authors!)
* Hope to get feedback from the community :)
