The Blazing Phoenix rises

We're taking the old Sinatra site and re-implementing it as a Jekyll static site.

Installation & Requirements

• Ruby 2.7.2 with rvm
• Install Jekyll. https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/

Build & Serve

• jekyll serve for local development
• Static site is available in /public folder

sinatra to jekyll conversion notes

• index.md has no content and has title "home" (lowercase h) because adding a new variable called name: home didn't work. i don't know why. it didn't get passed into default.html's {{ page.name }} ... changing it to {{ page.title }} worked though.
• nested layouts
  • index.md uses layout homepage.html
  • homepage.html in turn uses layout default.html
• public directory was copied over wholesale from sinatra project
• all asset names had to be prepended with /public
