Resources

The content and template files are parsed with Metalsmith. We use Handlebars templates (./components/templates) with some helpers (./components/templates/helpers) The content is written in Markdown and Frontmatter (./components/content) and the folder structure defines the sitemap. Gulp does the rest of the work and parses the css, js and assets. We tried to be explicit in naming and commenting the source files in dev mode and will be brief (and ugly) in deploy mode.
