#capjamesg[d]If anyone has a new static site to build, I'd appreciate feedback on https://github.com/capjamesg/aurora. I use it on three of my own sites, but I'd like to figure out what I have missed in terms of ease of use and getting started.

#[Murray]I don't really have a new static site to build, but I'm currently creating a sequence of POCs for work using a lot of the popular SSG and FE frameworks, so I took a look 🙂 Seems very cool, lots of nice stuff! From a documentation perspective, thinking about what I tend to want to understand early in a build, I'd like to know how to pull in data from an API, and whether there's a way to use a component architecture (I'd naturally play arou
#[Murray]with the `layouts`, but how granular/nested can you get?)
#capjamesg[d]I _think_ the best way to do that would be with a build script that gets your data then saves it as JSON or CSV. You can use the `_data` directory to store arbitrary JSON or CSV files that are rendered into pages (I used this to generate a site from ~200,000 HN posts in a few minutes).
