Hyde is @lakshmivyas’ evil Python transformation of my own Ruby Jekyll project, according to the backstory:
About a week back I wanted to open source a few jQuery plugins that I use for one of my projects. After going back and forth several times, I decided on github because of the bigger community. GitHub’s pages feature also made it easier for me to make that decision.
Jekyll is a really nice static website generator built by one of the git-hubbers. I started using Jekyll only to find that Liquid, the templating language used by Jekyll was not to my liking at all.
Granted, I have been severely spoiled by Django, which is incidentally the original inspiration for liquid.
Hyde, in turn, is a true fork of the aym-cms static CMS project. If you like static sites and Django templates, these might be right up your alley!
