In the past couple of weeks, I have been experimenting Jigsaw Tighten, a static site generator based on Laravel's Blade system and I have find it very easy to learn since I have played around with Laravel before. I find one thing that was interesting is that Jigsaw Tighten uses Markdown for contents and it was something that I was looking for.

While I was working with Jigsaw, I wanted to do something different and didn't want the folders/files structure that many people use so I started to experiment with the config.php and this is what I came up with.

return [
    'build' => [
        'source' => 'public'
    ],
];

This config above tells Jigsaw to use the public folder instead of the source folder and for the source/_assets, I change it to resources/assets and this is what the end result looks like.

app
public
   _layouts
   _posts
   404.md
   about.md
   contact.md
   index.md
resources
   js
      app.js
   scss
      screen.scss
bootstrap.php
composer.json
config.php
helpers.php
package.json
webpack.mix.js

As you can see, I just like this structure because it is what I'm used to when working with any kind of PHP application. I also want to make a note that you can use index.blade.md if you need blade if you need it.
