This project is a simple JSON file generator for a blog. It's using a custom plugin to look at metalsmith data and create directories of JSON which can be used to fetch as an static API.
It's suggested you setup your server to serve the files without the JSON extension for a prettier experience if needed.
This is where the static API is generated.
