Hello, @Marktawa. Can I get an update on this asap? I may have to re-open it to another author if I can't get your updates. Thanks
Hi @TiaraOluwanimi
Sorry for the lack of updates. Here's my current draft. I just recently updated my own fork of the jekyll-strapi plugin to make it compatible with Strapi version 4. It took me longer than expected. I'm now left with showcasing the plugins.
Hi @TiaraOluwanimi
I'm now done. Here's the link to the dropbox paper draft and the Github project repo
