Static Site Generators?

There are a ton but the top ones from Jeykll to Wintersmith we could list.

I don't think the static site generator is the required skill for front-end engineers. Why do you think so?

[brianmontanaweb]

Easy setup for a dynamic site without getting into a database. Great tools for a front end developer that doesn't want to work with back end development.

And you're right this could introduce a new can of worms with including CMSs.

But on the other hand, I'm not sure whether that Meteor or Relay should be included (Even if Relay is RC). They're all front and rear ends interaction framework.

I can see Meteor falling under prototyping, Ionic would fit under there too. I've no experience with Relay to comment.

Doh, distracted at work, clicked wrong button.

Sorry, I'm not a native speaker, so I can't get the meaning of 'falling under prototyping' and 'fit under there'.. Can you explain them?

[brianmontanaweb]

Oh sorry! It just means 'categorized in prototyping' for both.

[zsxsoft]

So do I.
Here's Relay. To the homepage, the tutorial and the comment from the author of Meteor, I think it is similar to Meteor..
And to Ionic, why?

[brianmontanaweb]

It's all semantics and Ionic's main category is as a framework but it's also used for prototyping.

So why not create a pull request =.=

I'll have something later this week 👍

Work and life have been busy this week and An Event Apart in Chicago is next week. I should be able to go through a few updates later today or tomorrow. Dammit, wrong button again.
