Congrats! Native support of Sass and CoffeeScript seem trivial, because of the various hacks and plugins out there...but damn it was hard, even knowing the hacks, to get a Jekyll project up and running if I hadn't been recently re-acquainted to its quirks. It'll also be nice to have Github Pages (I'm assuming) support the baking out of sass files...it feels so wrong to go back to plain CSS. The #1 feature, collections, is also huge...Lately I've been using Middleman, because there are a lot of small data-apps that don't require Sinatra/Rails but that Jekyll, being blog focused, is not well-equipped to handle...Middleman fits that niche perfectly...almost too well, as I often get to the point where I think, "Why didn't I just make this a Sinatra app?" But I'm glad to see some more flexibility with Jekyll...even in the previous version, you could get pretty far with the hardcoded blogging conventions. Mainly, I'm excited to Github Pages become even more easy-to-deploy and configure, particularly for documentation. Congrats and thanks again! |
