Ask HN: Static site Jekyll vs. Middleman for a portfolio with blog?

3 pointsnayefc2 comments

Any thoughts from people who've used them? Which should I go with?

Jekyll is easier to get started with.

If you know ruby, middleman can be very powerful if not it can be a pain.

I'm pretty good with Ruby. Does Middleman offer more power than Jekyll? All I need really is to upload my Bootstrap front-end, showcase my work, have a blog with Disqus comments integrated.

What does Middleman offer that Jekyll doesn't?
