I still think that the harp product (brand?) is all over the place. From what I've seen, harp is all of these things:
- A command line utility for creating a preprocessing-enabled server
- A static site generator like jekyll
- A "front-end publishing platform" for Dropbox
This leads to poor understanding of exactly what "Harp" is and what it helps you accomplish.
- krrishd 13y agoIt's mainly between HarpJS.com and harp.io, where on HarpJS there's a command line utility that works like a static site generator, and on harp.io it's hosted. I think it works pretty well that way, just like Wordpress has a self-hosted platform as well as a hosted one.
- couchand 13y agoOooh, and also a kind of beer!
- prezjordan 13y agoHarp doesn't aim to be a static site generator, quite the opposite I feel. It just allows you to throw (language/technology-agnostic) files in a directory and serve them. Dropbox seems like a good match for this.
- sintaxi 13y agoI can understand the confusion. Best to think of it like this, "Harp" is a static web server with built in preprocessing. "Harp Platform" is a service for running Harp apps in production. - "Command line" - happens to be the way you access the web server. - "Generating static assets" is just a feature of the web server. - "Dropbox integration" is just a feature of the platform. Hope that helps clear things up.
