Dragon

ALPHA - WORK IN PROGRESS

Dragon is a content management system similar to Jekyll, but using Elixir and EEX templates, along with some improvements to behavior. It is the static-site generator counterpoint to the Elixir Phoenix appserver.

If you are familiar with Jekyll, you should be able to migrate fairly easily.

Benefits of Dragon:

• Templates using powerful EEX rather than liquid. This comes with a feature-rich environment for all sorts of functionality (limited only by Elixir/EEX).
• Robust and extensible data handling system
• Very little "magic" and hard assertions. Other than the top level configuration file, the rest of it is up to how you configure your project.
• Relative includes! No need for files scattered all over in include folders, just include it from your local path. You can still use library folders if you so desire, in any location you choose.

FAQ

Aren't Static CMS's dead?

Of course not! A majority of web content is static! With Dragon you can easily build and deploy a site to a statically served CDN, such as Amazon, and host your site for pennies if not chump change (sidebar: article on how to do this pending, but checkout https://github.com/srevenant/website-2-s3-cdn).

As Dragon evolves it'll become more integrated with Phoenix, so you can leverage the power of both a static content generator and a dynamic appserver!
