Looks interesting; thanks for sharing. I'll check it out later. One concern, is that for NoScript user, JS is kind of pain compared to "real" static HTML. . . I'm guessing these sites completely broken without JS. Has anyone tested the Jerkyll Org plugin¹? It might be v2-specific, but it would be nice to just be able to commit your Org files. . . –Rasmus Footnotes: ¹ http://jekyllrb.com/docs/plugins/ -- May contains speling mistake
