Super tutorial for doing just what I want without all the fuss - what if you don't really need to persist data?
Great for building static sites that don't do much else that hang out. I've run into syntax problems between Liquid and Angular (in-text) - the browser seems to get confused at times especially if you're attempting to mix and match.
ng-repeat tends to go hay-wire, too. That's a b*tch, sirs and madams.
I'm re-learning this beast - the good thing, I remember, is that it uses Python (maybe my favorite language) and renders html to boot in a kinda 'Jekyll' sorta way. That is, Flask makes a _site folder for all your production files. While it doesn't allow the 'global' edits that Jekyll does, it does provide you a method of being DRY (not repeating yourself with loads of 'already-written' code).
It's huge, lemme tell ya, huge. It's the best (sorta), and I absolutely don't need to deal with it for a static site.
