Trigger building of the site automatically as soon as one of the following events occurs:

• new issue is created
• issue is edited
• issue is closed/opened
• ..?

Possibly relevant for this goal:

• Github Webhooks
• Travis CI
• AWS Lambdas

The worst part of coming up with a new CMS/static site generator is that we have no themes. Even when we manage to come up with a theming system (that let's people write their own layouts then somehow grab those layouts instead of the default layouts to render the final site), we still have one or two themes while Jekyll has a thousand.

I've designed Classless with that in mind. I know this sounds like an elevator pitch, but Classless is an idea for easing out the pains of coming up with your own blog engine that should really benefit all of us, who cannot settle for anything. It's a proposal for a basic HTML layout that tries to make the less arbitrary decisions possible, and remains open for multiple kinds of themes, which are implemented using only CSS. There are already some themes there, but there could be much more.

Because it is fixed, people can change themes by just changing a CSS link; because it is easy to implement on every blog engine, people can move from Jekyll to less famous engines and keep their themes; because it has no classes, no one has to fight on what should be the class names; because Flexbox and Grid exists, almost every theme can be implemented in it.

What do you think?
