## Notes

Almace Scaffolding, also called AMSF, is a framework built on Jekyll. A developer works on a site locally with Ruby and Node.js, runs Grunt tasks to serve and build it, and takes the output from a _site folder. The deployment guide says that folder can be uploaded to a web host, so the live site needs only static file serving. Sparanoid, Inc. publishes the project, and its documentation sits on the project's own site.

## Worth knowing

The GitHub repository is archived, and the project's own homepage still links to it. No page states that the project has ended, so the archive flag is the only end signal recorded here.
