Why & how did you choose Saber? #206

1. The simplicity of saber is quite attractive and quite useful for because I can programatically create markdown files and everything else renders consistently.

2. I heard about saber from staticgen (site that lists all the static site generators), quite familiar with vuepress, but saber is quite good as well, although I think it's the default layout on vuepress is better.

1. For maaany reasons (which others before me have also covered nicely ☝️ )

• Simple
• It seems like a great balance between Eleventy (trying to provide a great experience out of the box) and Vuepress (power of Vue 💚 )
• The layout, component and asset system is all very well organised (you can keep your directory structure basically flat) and thought-through
• It's one of the few static gens where I believe that I can come back in 6 or 12 months and instantly understand how things are set up and how they work. It just clicks in my mind. This if the biggest perk in my book

2. Vueland Discord

I have been watching this project for years, derived from the Peco age. Then Peco got abandoned and merged into this Saber. The core features I've been looking for was:

1. A static site generator, more powerful or at least as well as Hexo
2. Modern features, like history api router out of box
3. The ability to mix customed components into Markdown documents.

Actually I was inspired at the first time I found Peco provided the feature to use Vue components in Markdown documents. I tried Peco those days but finally I gave up using it. I guess it was because of lacking some important features, e.g. the ability to change head tags (like what you can do with gatsby-plugin-react-helmet and gatsby-ssr.js now). At that time Gatsby was working on its v2 and MDX was just a prototype with a lot of discussions. So I waited and kept watching on this project for a long time. Sadly, it took too long for Peco/Saber to become stable. Although I'm already happy with Gatsby + MDX now, I wish Saber will land as soon as possible.

@rikakomoe those features are all available in Saber now 🤔
