Funny how we had the same idea for the name: https://github.com/jvzr/MrPoole

But kudos to the OP for delivering. I switched over to Middleman, so mine will never be publicly released.

I've actually had the domain name poole.io sitting for a while now, ready to do something that supports Jekyll. Great minds think alike?

Make that another one: https://github.com/bearwithclaws/poole (2 years ago!)

Never really released as well. Kudos for releasing it.

Ha! It seems like the obvious name if you're going to write a helper application for Jekyll. Most of the things I saw poking around were to generate scaffolding, which Jekyll can do by itself now.

I was annoyed with manually moving files around, so obviously the solution was to spend many more hours than I ever would have spent doing that writing this instead.

I was a lot less imaginative and wrote a little Emacs mode called Hyde which can be used to manage a Jekyll blog - https://github.com/nibrahim/hyde

It might end like moot.it. Just saying.

I'm not sure I follow...how did moot.it end?

Very similar to this set of Rake tasks: https://github.com/gummesson/jekyll-rake-boilerplate

Looks good regardless
