What Is This?
A starter project for building a coming soon page with minimum configuration. The aim is to have a starter project for Gatsby which you can adopt by just editing a simple text file and then push the site to a web hosting service.
Certainly, you can use the starter to build upon it and adjust it to your needs.
A tutorial on how to install, launch, and develop it further will follow soon. See the roadmap below.

Thanks, @ms10398. I agree that we result from
gatsby new gatsby-siteis not much different fromgatsby new your-new-gatsby-site https://github.com/cutemachine/gatsby-starter-coming-soon. The contribution was to set up the new repository and set the base for the new starter.But I see your point. Thanks again for the review.
Hey, nice one! Have used Gatsby before. This starter looks like things will be even easier to get started with. Have you been contributing?
Yes, my goal with the project is to make so easy to use that even somebody without any JavaScript skills can use it to have a free coming soon page.
You mean contributing to Gatsby?
Yeah to Gatsby. Or mainly just building on top of it?
Great goal, and looks like you are on the right track to getting there. With all the tech we have it certainly should be easy to have a page for anyone.
I only reported issues, or tested fixes for Gatsby but have never contributed any code. But I have some ideas for a Gatsby plugin.
Thanks for your kind words.
No problem. I've used Gatsby and a lot of other React stuff, but haven't contributed much (yet).
If I have some time I'll try and contribute to your project, I think it's a step in the right direction in making having a web presence more accessible for everyone.
Great, just let me know what you want to work on, so that we do not develop the same parts. And it is probably good to wait for the next update, which I hope to have ready by tonight. Cheers buddy.
Been meaning to look into Gatsby for awhile, maybe it's time I gave it a go with your project
Yes, check Gatsby out. It is fantastic. I think it would be a good frame for your tutorials.
I'm currently working on the starter. Will have a new version of it ready by tomorrow night. I wish I had more time to work on Steem related stuff.
Let me know if you run into any problems with Gatsby. I'm here to help :)
