Why Jekyll?

Jekyll is a static website generator - what it means is that in production, your site will be faster because it has been converted into HTML pages while deployment. Another reason is that by separating your landing website from your app website, your app servers get comparatively free and can boost performance for your regular customers.

Cookie uses Tailwind 2.0 which is a good improvement over Tailwind 1.0. Update: Now Cookie uses Tailwind 3.0

Installation

• Fork this repository.
• cd cookie
• bin/bootstrap

Starting Server

bin/start - development server will start at http://127.0.0.1:4061

Customizing

• You can customize landing page by modifying index.html in root directory.
• You can customize other website pages by modifying files present in _pages directory. You can add more pages too - you will be able to directly link to them using filename. Don't forget to change Terms & Privacy Policy.
• You can write blog posts in _posts directory. It's a regular Jekyll blog, and Tailwind Typography for better blog formating and code syntax highlighting is already included.
• You should also checkout _config.yml in root directory, and add relevant details. Many of them are used for SEO purposes.
• You should also add favicons in custom-head.html present in _includes directory. You can use RealFaviconGenerator.
• You can customize image assets in assets/img directory.
• You will have to hook the 'Work with Us' form present on main page with a real backend.
• Font Awesome is also integrated, to add any icon in your HTML files, you can refer to the website
• Sign up for free on Soopr and add your publish_token in _config.yml file - with this, each page gets short URL, like button and auto generated share image for social media.
