The problem with these "I made this X in 5 minutes" announcements is that frequently, it looks like you made it in five minutes (and I don't mean that in a good way). This phrasing " I did X in Y time" is obviously meant to highlight one's skill and speed, but if the product looks crappy, the forest is missed for the trees.

I think this is a neat collection of frontend tools to make your Jekyll (or other static) blog snazzy. It's a good article in that respect: "Here are all the tools you need for a full featured Jekyll blog." But making the point of it being a "fast setup", as someone else pointed out, is a weak point, since wordpress and others are just as fast or faster.
