Thanks Ryan!

Yes ,I'm using Jquery to do this.Everything seems simple.

But the key is how to use staticmatic, Currently I can only generate
content file from my application,then go to command line to use
staticmatic to compile it .it's not much burden to do this, if we have
only a few site to manage.but I just wondering if I have a 100
websites to manage,this will become a problem.

so ideally I hope it'll be great that if I can use staticmatic as an
standard lib in my applicaion,like this:

#in my own rb application code.
require'staticmatic"

#some code to generate txt(haml) file to staticmatic content folder;

Staticmatic.compile(oneofmysite)

that' it , based on this we can make new site very easy and make it
possible to manage large number of website .

I work by my own to do website, many time I find the defferent between
large companies and personal website administers: we departed on
opposite direction :they using high resource intensive webserver,so we
have to to retreat to static page, they focus on one or few
website ,so we MUST do more small sites .in this way we can still keep
competent with big companies. I guess in the future it's even harder
to survive between this .

consider the search engine has created an very strange and unfair
ecosystem, this might mean a big market in the future,so if you guys
can ,can you add some muti-site manage function to staticmatic, that
also will be cool!
