Discussion on: Cogear.JS — modern static websites generator

I use static website's generators for small projects something that I can develop very quickly and deploy in Github pages. That's something that I do not like about GatsbyJS it's more like a framework than a plug and play solution.

Cogear.JS looks like is more like a framework rather than plug and play solution. Do you know if there is a started project for Cogear.JS that will make it more plug and play? Something that I can download, pick a theme, change the data and deployed it.

Currently, I have been using Hugo and as a plug and play solution works great. However, modifying it can be difficult, and I am trying to find something in between.

Do you know if there is a started project for Cogear.JS that will make it more plug and play?

Started project is included inside by generator.

Type:

$ cogear new site.io # your site name

New site will be generated by this command.

Next go the site folder cd ./site.io and call cogear command.

System will be fired up in development mode with hot reloading of css, js and pages content.

You are free to clone the default theme or change it as you wish.

Of course, you need to install Cogear.JS previously.

Please, take a look at the video to make this topic more clean:

I'm hosting Cogear.JS website on Now.

Deploy process is like following code:

cogear build
now --public public
# the link is given and is copied to clipboard
now alias [given_link] cogearjs.org

That is all.
