# Small-to-medium sites
|
|
|
|
Hakyll was written to be used for small-to-medium sites. You can do some
|
|
advanced things with it, but don't use it to build a big online shop.
|
|
|
|
# Hakyll.hs
|
|
|
|
It should be possible to put all configuration in one file, so data and
|
|
configuration can be strictly separated. In addition, we think this file should
|
|
never exceed a 100 lines of code.
|
|
|
|
# High-level
|
|
|
|
Hakyll tries to provide as many high-level functions as possible for common
|
|
tasks, while the lower-level functions should also be accessible. If you think
|
|
you're writing something that can be used for many sites, please send a patch,
|
|
or your `hakyll.hs`, and we will see what we can do.
|
|
|
|
# Well-documented
|
|
|
|
A key to being easy-to-use is documentation. That's why we try to provide as
|
|
many working examples as possible. If you ever create a site using hakyll,
|
|
please consider open-sourcing it, as people might be able to learn from your
|
|
code.
