Relating to Haml/Sass, you may have heard of the ruby gem StaticMatic. It's a great tool that lets you use Haml/Sass to building quick, static prototypes.

In fact, I loved the concept so much that I began improving upon it myself[1], adding support for CoffeeScript and Amazon S3. For anyone who might find it useful, any testing or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I used Staticmatic, but I never liked having to move all my HAML/SASS over to my app. I recently replaced it with the showoff plugin [1], which is basically Staticmatic inside a Rails app.

Interesting, thanks, I'll consider using that next time I'm building a prototype that will eventually become a Rails app. But who knows, I might write a rails-app-exporter for StaticMatic just for fun :D
