rapidweaver

realmacsoftwares SDKs auf GitHub - why I'm dealing with RapidWeaver again: the SDKs are now freely available on GitHub and look quite interesting - and if there are SDKs for IDEs, I'm almost automatically curious.

SiteMap Loghound.com. Ok, another plugin - this one generates a sitemap, both HTML and the Google XML format for search engine integration. I'll have to check first what RapidWeaver 5 already offers out of the box compared to RapidWeaver 4 (as with others).

PlusKit Loghound.com. Another quite interesting plugin for RapidWeaver, with which you can do a whole range of integration tasks. For example, embedding Google Docs, including other pages, Spotlight-Search and global search in large RapidWeaver projects and automatic Lightbox for RapidWeaver galleries. The latter is particularly interesting and PlusKit is also a prerequisite for Motivate, a quite interesting layout for RapidWeaver sites. And with SymNivo there are then funny transitions for the display of automatic presentations. That is then again the disadvantage of RapidWeaver: thousands of small doodads and gimmicks, probably you play more with the installation than with the actual site ...

RapidScript - I've been playing around with RapidWeaver again (for some purposes, creating static websites is quite interesting) and stumbled upon this plugin. Nice idea, you can generate page content via AppleScript, which is directly embedded in the RapidWeaver database. This makes pseudodynamic content possible - generated from external sources, but still static output. I found this in this quite nice thematic list of RapidWeaver plugins. The list is definitely more useful than the big grab bag at RealMacSoftware, which has no thematic grouping.
