Welcome to the official documentation of the JekyllEx app. In this article you will understand what JekyllEx is.
In simple terms: JekyllEx is the mobile IDE for Jekyll.
For understanding what JekyllEx does, one needs to know what Jekyll is.
Here's what the Jekyll's official repository's describes:
Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator perfect for personal, project, or organization sites. Think of it like a file-based CMS, without all the complexity. Jekyll takes your content, renders Markdown and Liquid templates, and spits out a complete, static website ready to be served by Apache, Nginx or another web server.
In simple terms, Jekyll removes all the hassle of a server-based CMS (like WordPress, Ghost, etc.) and gives you the freedom to write simple markdown text, and converts that into a website!
The best part is, since Jekyll is the engine behind GiHub Pages, you can host the static sites built by Jekyll on GitHub Pages for free. It is as simple as putting the Jekyll project on GitHub and configuring gh-pages, which is really simple!
JekyllEx provides an intuitive UI in an Android app to create/edit and manage your Jekyll blog posts directly from your mobile device!
The further articles in this documentation will walk you through how you can use the app.
