So... it's a static site generator? I've looked through the site, but I'm having trouble putting it in context. Sounds like it takes data and turns it into a static website. Is that right?

That's how I read it too? And while the documentation has lots of examples, I get a bit lost in that you start with some form of JSON file, which consumes either YAML or HTML files, who in turn can consume Markdown files. It doesn't seem (from my reading!) to have the level of abstraction I would expect from a SSG.
so, you're saying the claim of making websites where you can understand how they're made doesn't seem to hold up?
