Questions

What's up with the name?
Proteus was an early Greek sea god and a shapeshifter. The English word "protean" means "able to do many things, change easily, versatile". We use static site generators to prototype apps and sites quickly, so it seemed like a good fit.
I found a bug / Have an improvement / Want to help
Great! The best way to make the kits better is to open an Issue on that kit on Github. Bonus points if you submit a Pull Request to fix a problem. Ask @joshuaogle if you have any questions on where to get started.
My favorite generator isn't listed!
We'll be adding more as we find ourselves using more of them. Can't wait? Put together a template that includes the tools listed above and open a pull request adding it to the list.
