Pattern Lab vs Pelican

Pelican vs Pattern Lab: What are the differences?

Pelican: A static site generator, written in Python, that requires no database or server-side logic. Pelican is a static site generator that supports Markdown and reST syntax. Write your weblog entries directly with your editor of choice (vim!) in reStructuredText or Markdown; Pattern Lab: Create atomic design systems with it. It helps you and your team build thoughtful, pattern-driven user interfaces using atomic design principles.

Pelican and Pattern Lab can be primarily classified as "Static Site Generators" tools.

Some of the features offered by Pelican are:

• Blog articles and pages
• Comments, via an external service (Disqus). (Please note that while useful, Disqus is an external service, and thus the comment data will be somewhat outside of your control and potentially subject to data loss.)
• Theming support (themes are created using Jinja2 templates)

On the other hand, Pattern Lab provides the following key features:

• Nested Patterns
• Design With Dynamic Data
• Language Agnostic
