    Hey David, thanks for showing up early to the party!

    We have a bunch of stuff on our Siteleaf roadmap, partially dictated by Jekyll’s roadmap which is kinda nice. Awesome features trickle down to us like Gem-based Themes, we’re really excited about this one!

    Besides what’s in the Jekyll pipeline, our plan is to continue building out and improving the UI to make it even more client friendly with more Jekyll coverage (editable defaults, data files, etc), third-party gem support, and possibly some add-on features which extend beyond Jekyll's functionality. Stay tuned!

    Would love to hear if you have any specific feature requests too :)

      Thanks for the reply.

      Hearing that you're keen about gem based themes and improving the UI is music to my ears! I've been experimenting with themes in the dev version of Jekyll. While it has some flaws, the initial idea is potentially game changing.

      I'm really liking the UI of Siteleaf right now, but that isn't to say I don't want to see changes. Evolving the interface will really benefit everyday users.

      My request would be to see some kind of marketplace for gem based themes and plugins. Not a small request I know, but I certainly see it as a benefit to all Siteleaf users and developers.
