After watching the videos and playing around with a site I think it is like the difference between Instagram videos and Vine videos. I think maybe you guys have never used DocPad because from what I see they are exactly the same thing with only minor differences like 8 sec video vs 15 secs video. \r\n\r\nHere is what I see and some of what I think is missing that Docpad has:\r\n\r\n1. The config looks like it forces me to use coffee script. I am one of those people that really doesn't like CoffeScript. Docpad lets me write the config in javascript or even json if it is simple.\r\n\r\n1. Accord just makes it a little easier when you start out but that really is it. Docpad just does this with plugins. The plugins way is much better because I don't have to wait till accord supports the library or send you a pull request. Also maybe my library isn't public so it wouldn't make sense for you to put it in Accord. I can just build the Docpad plugin with no other dependencies. In Roots I am guessing I could write my own extension to do this just seems strange having accord and extensions when it could all be done with extensions.\r\n\r\n1. I am concerned that your employee page was dynamic. In Docpad you could easily have done it with collections and then markdown or yaml or what ever you wanted. Unless maybe the employees could update the data themselves. Roots-record requires json Docpad it could be anything. Paging also is no issue in Docpad. It can be easily setup to generate each page. The advantage being that it all gets indexed by google.\r\n\r\n1. Client-templetes was a really nice feature that Docpad is missing though if I needed it for something I don't think it would be hard to add in. I would love to see it done with React vs Jade. My only concern is client-templetes is dependent on Accord.\r\n\r\n1. The Wordpress thing is cool but Docpad does that as well as you can use Tumblr, Medium, MongoDB (Really and DB).\r\n\r\n1. Templetes was nice but Docpad has skeletons which are very close to the exact same thing.\r\n\r\n1. Last, when I played around with the code you end up changing the config so much but then you have to restart the watcher. Doesn't seem like a hard task to add in that the watch auto resets when the config changes.\r\n\r\nSo from my point of view you are rebuilding Docpad. You both even like CoffeeScript. Image if you guys would have just worked with Docpad and added maybe client-tempeltes how much farther along both of these would have been. This is why I asked the question because you guys are both doing the same thing. Comparing to Wordpress or Grunt doesn't make sense but Docpad and you do the same thing, almost exactly.\r\n"}}
