How was the Hail site created?

Hi There,

I was just curious, how was the Hail site / website created?

I think the documentation site looks very nice and seems to be generated from Jupyter notebooks somehow. Also it seems like it is well integrated with the Github.

Sorry if I missed it in the FAQ or related.

The site is indeed generated from files in the repository on GitHub. The main site (www.hail.is) is written in templated html / javascript – nothing super fancy – and the docs are generated with Sphinx, which allows us to generate documentation from inline docstrings and supporting ReStructuredText files. The tutorials are created by a Sphinx extension that runs jupyter notebooks (see here in the repo) and saving the output as html.
