JungleJS is a new static site generator. All Svelte goodness + GraphQL data layer = fast, performant static site. Jungle’s underlying philosophy seems to resemble Eleventy, except Jungle uses Svelte.

But as of now, Jungle does not have live reload yet. We have to restart the server any time we make a change. While only partially addressing the needs for live reload, we can use Storybook for developing UI components. Even in project with hot reloading/live reload, it’s useful to have an isolated UI development environment like Storybook, which also provides us with various addons, from accessibility to testing. Finally, Tailwind provides customizable, utility-first CSS, which helps us build our UI faster.

And thus this starter site was born.

For a quick start, you can click the “Use this template” button on the Github repository or run git clone https://github.com/ekafyi/junglejs-storybook-tailwind.git.

Let me know if you're building anything with this!
