Would it be possible to use editorial to make a static site generator
-
I have this but as a very basic coder I wonder if I could use this to make a static site generator for my own sites. Can you create folders within editorial's directory within this app?
-
I made a workflow to make a static website: http://editorial-app.appspot.com/workflow/6453713958862848/81eiZlBdpKA
This is a onepage website, needs modifying to be multipage.
Also Google for the Python code I based this on: Nicoletta by Roberto Alsina.

Yes, it's absolutely possible - I've done it. My initial attempt consisted of several workflows - one for posting a new blog post, one for generating the index.html and RSS page, one for removing a post, etc. I ran this for a few months before taking the site down. My scripts were based around uploading the HTML files to an FTP site. If you're interested, I can see about condensing the workflows into something more singular, and share what I have.

Thank you peter for the share, very cool!
And WyldKard, I would be interested to see it, but no worries if its difficult to do. I've mainly worked in Pythonista so haven't gone further into Editorial yet.
