Octopress is a blogging framework for hackers. Its 2.0 version was released recently.
Octopress runs on Jekyll, the Ruby gem for generating static pages (that of GitHub).
Octopress’s new features are indeed new:
- Comes with an HTML5 template;
- Mobile-friendly, responsive design;
- Built-in social media support;
- A number of super-useful plugins;
- Rather easy to deploy.
However, you’ll also won’t like some things:
- You’ll have to add a lot of features yourself (a “hacker framework” apparently means this — no offense ;))
- By default, seems great for static, GitHub-fork-like pages.
