If you need to make a static web page and find yourself missing all your Rails comforts, take a look at StaticMatic Show archive.org snapshot .

This works like an extremely stripped down version of Rails, giving you

  • HAML
  • SASS
  • helpers
  • partials

When done, everything is simply compiled to static HTML and CSS, so no need to install anything on your server.

If you receive an error launching the preview server (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (SocketError)), just put this into the config/site.rb:

configuration.preview_server_host = "localhost"
