go-ssg

This is a static site generator that I created to teach myself Go.

I think static site generators are great projects to work on when you are learning a new language, because they require you to learn a lot about the standard library.

Here are some notable features:

• Markdown support.
• Dynamic page generation based on taxonomies defined in frontmatter.
• Preview a build with a built-in web server.
• Automatic project rebuild on change, and page reload via WebSocket connection.
• Easy project scaffolding with "create" command.

I feel that I have learned enough about Go to move on, and because this project has no real purpose beyond being a learning tool, I am leaving it here.
