I don’t know exactly what the integration with Pheonix would look like, but it’s something that’s on my mind, and I think there’s even an open issue for it. You can install Still in the app where you have Phoenix and compile the website priv/static during the build step of your deployment. Or you can compile it to anywhere in priv and use rules such as the ones we have the dev server to serve those assets. With that in place, I guess you can call anything from the templates. You could make queries to Ecto or something like that. I need to try this out.

Hello everyone!
Version 0.6.0 with all of the changes I mentioned above:

• everything is faster.
• templates are recompiled on refresh.
• the elixir code is also recompiled on refresh.
• better error handling.
• better configs.

For the following version, we’ll be improving the docs and the examples. It would also be nice to have pre-compiled the templates as Phoenix does, but we need to check if that makes sense in Still, I feel that it doesn’t because we combine soo much stuff for a single template.

Any feedback and bug reports are much welcome!

Hello! It has been a while, so I thought I would write some updates:

• Handling static assets is faster because we now only copy them to the build folder when they are modified. Ideally, we would serve them from the input folder and not copy them, but this is the first step!
• There’s now support for a “data” folder. Essentially, data files in the “data” folder are easily accessible from any template. You can use this to load JSON, YAML, etc, to use on your pages.
• There’s also support for pagination, which allows generating multiple files from a single template. This is the most powerful feature I added and allows for things like per-category pages in blogs. Any List can be used to create multiple pages.

There were a few more internal changes, but progress is slow. Still, I think this is pretty neat!
