#32Another option for building static websites is StaticMatic[1]. It uses Tilt for templating, so you can use mustache, haml, sass, coffeescript, or whatever. There's also a nice "upload to Amazon S3" command. Some have said StaticMatic is good for building PhoneGap clients. Personally I just use it for small sites.

And that is what I am trying to accomplish with my design, getting out of the users way and allowing him to just write content. Would love to hear any other feedback you guys might have.

#35Nice idea, thanks for doing this. I was searching for something like this a few weeks back. Without having had a closer look at it, how 'complex' you think the content and navigation could get? I.e. having a lot of relatively small 'articles' with lots of metadata plus the ability to browse, filter, sort, etc by metadata. It would be nice for a niche community-run data-collection site where instead of using a relativ…
