    :globe_with_meridians: Jekyll is a blog-aware static site generator in Ruby

    Jekyll is pretty easy if you have front-end experience. It's basically HTML with loops, includes, and variables. There are a few concepts to learn such as front matter (YAML) and the Liquid syntax, but you can get started and make a working blog without having to worry about learning much of anything.

  • pages-gem

    A simple Ruby Gem to bootstrap dependencies for setting up and maintaining a local Jekyll environment in sync with GitHub Pages

    "Technically", it can just be you using a github respository and serving ur blog page and the series of json files from same 'public' repo via github pages. Not backend really.
