Trys has made YASSG—Yet Another Static Site Generator. It’s called Sergey (like SSG, see?) and it does just one thing: it allows you to include chunks of markup. It’s Apache Server Side Includes all over again!
Kick the tyres and see what you think.
Art, geometry, and code. Sol LeWitt started it. Rob saw it through.
Procedurally generated medieval town plans. Pick a size and then have some fun with the “warp” option.
There are a lot of static site generators out there!
Testing the theory that putting the word “total”, “complete”, or “absolute” in front of any noun automatically makes for an excellent insult.
Procedurally generated murmurations of starlings.
This service could be quite handy if you’re making a presentation that involves showing code—it generates syntax-highlighted images of code.
A lightweight style guide generator. This one uses SassDoc to parse out the documentation for colours, type, etc.
Two of my favourite things together at last: pattern libraries and service workers. Infusion is a tool for generating pattern libraries that also work offline.
Thinking about it, it makes total sense that a pattern library should be a progressive web app.
A handy tool with some pre-made CSS clip paths that you can then tweak to your heart’s desire.
A useful tool to help you generate a manifest file, icons, and a service worker for your progressive web appsite.
Another style guide generator that parses comments in CSS.
Mark sets the scene for Fractal, the fantastic tool he’s built for generating pattern libraries.
This 1.0 release is just a start; it hopefully provides a solid foundation on which we (and anyone else who wants to contribute) can build and expand on in the future.
Exciting!
This is the tool that we use at Clearleft to generate pattern libraries. It’s pretty damn cool. Mark built it. It’s pretty damn cool.
A walkthrough of what’s new in Pattern Lab 2. It’s really interesting to see the convergent evolution of ideas here with what’s brewing in Fractal at Clearleft.
One more tool for making pattern libraries. This one looks fairly simple and straightforward.
A new pattern library tool, this time from the smart people at Cloud Four. It’s called Drizzle and it started life as a fork of Fabricator.
A very handy tool for figuring out breakpoints for responsive images.
Upload an image in its largest size, play around with the settings, and then generate the breakpoints, the markup, and the resized images for each breakpoint.
We’ve got Space Ipsum for text. Now we have SpaceHolder for images.
The missing font generator for Mac OS X.
Very handy for subsetting fonts for the web. It doesn’t (yet) export WOFF2 unfortunately.
