L-A / Little-Jekyll

A desktop app for Jekyll

Little Jekyll

Development paused (11/11/2016)

Since Jekyll has recently moved to gem-based themes, my method for including an install-less Jekyll conflicts with the direction they are taking.

It also (in my opinion) adds more obstacles to the learning steps that a beginner might take in learning to build for the web, which goes against the general mission I gave myself with Little Jekyll.
