Congratulations and initial steps

Hey, this is a very interesting project. I've cloned and playing and learning with it. 🐸

How can I add some pages and posts? I can't find them.

thanks!

Hello. Glad you are liking it.

Pages get added to /source/content. Any pages (.jade or .md) in the root of that folder is your top level pages... so /source/content/about.jade becomes http://yoursite.com/about/. Any folders in source/content become your collections. So you could have a blog collection or documentation, tutorials, recipes, as many as you want. Any files in these become pages (a.k.a. posts) in that collection. So /source/content/blog/my-post.md becomes http://yoursite.com/blog/my-post/. To get an index of all of the links add an index.jade file to the collection folder and extend the collection template.

There is not currently a scaffolding generator, though I do plan to write one eventually. For now you just have to make the files yourself. You might find it useful to clone the documentation site repo and have a look through there since it is a little more filled in with content... https://github.com/abstracthat/sitelightning.co.

You should definitely read through the quick start and documentation here: http://sitelighting.co/.

There will be a big push soon that enables the RSS feed and adds support for static email templating and campaign management via the Mailchimp API (through a couple of simple gulp commands of course).

the idea of 'collection' is quite similar to mongoDB. I like it. I'm specilally interested in almost ALL the ideas you are talking about.
I tryed jekyll and hexo but feel more comfortable with sitelighting. Is more robust, clean, minimal, versatile, compatible... Oh shit, Jade and stylus is so beautifull I have to learn them.
Personally I don't like to use system grids for layout. Flex give you more freedom.
I'll try to customize it by adding flex instead of grid. And think how can I add a CMS and angular functionality maybe... I don't know, I like single pages too...

hey!
After compiling to production gulp deploy I see some html elements like classes or id's are not wrapped with " <section class=content><p>Content here. or <input id=email name=EMAIL type=email placeholder="Your Email" required class=email> <button type=submit
Is it a bug?

Another question is if possible to push to a gh-pages branch when 'gulp deploy' like hexo does. I think github wont read production folder authomatically like jekyll. 😨

That looks like a bug. I'll have a look as soon as I can.

There is no gh-pages support but I could add that in. To do it yourself just add a deploy task using the gulp-gh-pages plugin.

This should override the deploy task in gulp-lightning so you need to call the gulp task 'build' as a dependency.

gulp.task 'deploy', ['build'], ->
  ghpages()

As for auto publishing (a la Jekyll) you can do that with Travis. http://www.jvandemo.com/how-to-use-travis-ci-to-automatically-deploy-a-harpjs-application-to-github-pages/

As to the assumed bug, HTMLMin is removing the attribute quotes as they are not required. I think it's fine to leave them out. It's minified output anyway.
