## Notes

Jigsaw is a static site generator in PHP from Tighten that builds sites from Blade templates, with Markdown and other file types as content. Remote collections can pull content from outside the project. Assets are compiled with Vite through npm, so a project that builds its own CSS or JavaScript needs Node, while the finished site is static files only.

Starters are provided for a blog and for an open source documentation site. The project also keeps a showcase of sites built with it.
