How does it compare to JIGSAW? Consider it adding it in staticgen.com

It's similar in that they both use Laravel's Blade templating engine and are built on PHP. Cleaver is definitely much less complex in terms of both options and underlying code.

A big difference though is that Jigsaw doesn't provide an easy way to use a JSON file for content, or work well for heavily data-oriented sites, which is the original reason I started building Cleaver.

Hope this helps, and I'll definitely add it to staticgen.com!
