Harp Weekly – The Week’s Workflow

This week, an entire workflow has been documented: upgrade from Jekyll to Harp with a new npm module, learn about some of Harp’s features in a podcast, and deploy your app with a new guide.

Projects

jekyll2harp

Eric Drechsel has done a great job creating an npm module to help you upgrade from Jekyll to Harp. It safely moves YAML metadata into _data.json, among other things. If you’d like to contribute or find out more, the view the GitHub repo for jekyll2harp.

CascadiaJS

This November 14th and 15th is CascadiaJS, a conference on the cutting edge of JavaScript. CascadiaJS’ site is built with Harp, and is published on the Harp Platform. This year, the event is taking place in Vancouver, BC. Sintaxi, the author of Harp, will be there—make sure to say “Hello” if you’re attending!

Teen2Geek redesign

Krish Dholakiya recently worked on the redesign for Teen2Geek, which aims to introduce young adults to web development. You can also see it on Krish’s personal site; it’s built using Harp and AngularJS, which work great together.
