Configure custom Spec pages as separate modules

[robhrt7]

Add configuration scenario to add this kind of Interactive Specs as a dependency from separate repo https://github.com/sourcejs/styles.

Among plugins, Source could have custom pages (small application) for different team needs. After Styles page will be also release Graphics page and Front-end resources management dashboard.

I know this might sound crazy but would a simple/news/blog pages be a good edition. I think teams that are trying to tell the story of design through live code would probably find it beneficial to have some way to communicate with all consuming the specs.

Hi @custa1200,

Thanks for your input! You're talking about some common community platform of SourceJS user, where people can share their use-cases? Or about integrating some blog platform to SourceJS as a plugin?

[custa1200]

I think just a very simple blog would help. I think there would be value in selling the ideas behind a live style guide wider through businesses if they can be brought along on on the thinking behind it.

I have already planned a blog, that will be also open to any contributors. And I agree, it's really important to get the idea, before actual tech implementation.

The best resource with aggregated content about Style Guides in general is http://styleguides.io/

@custa1200 I think you can already use Markdown specs as a blog for news.

@mik01aj, I can, but it will be a bit hacky, since SourceJS is not a blog platform, so I will use separate engine for that. Something like Jekyll or Docpad.
