Just finished up the base for Diamond and its initiate state with Github and Dub, as well the first guide on using Diamond with vibe.d for websites.

Diamond is a MVC / Template framework originally made for a hobby project, but as I developed it further I saw some potential in it and have now decided to make it open-source.

It can be used to write websites/webservices on-top of vibe.d Allowing you to easily create and run websites/webservices without a lot of configurations to vibe.d since it's all done through simple configuration files in json, as well handled behind the scenes within the core framework of Diamond.

Diamond however is also a template framework for views (Originally designed for web-views only.) and thus can be used to render MVC websites using its own syntax, heavily inspired by the ASP.NET razor syntax; not entirely though.

It's currently in its first stable alpha version (0.2.2)

For more information please view below.

Sounds interesting. Are you planning to add a tutorial / more examples?

Typo on your Github page:

"on every playform that can compile D"

playform => platform

Thank you and yes, there's a few wiki pages at the moment.

Just finished stand-alone support and added a "guide" on how to use it. There are currently 3 guides on using it for websites, webservices and as stand-alone.

Next thing coming up is a website for the whole thing :)

This marks the last "initial" alpha version 0.2.3

The plan is to have monthly releases with stable versions.

Well I didn't see it in the dub repository, so I didn't assume anyone had used the name, so didn't assume anything existed with it.

I apologize for the inconvenience though.

The dub repository seems to have a problem properly escaping your example template. Could you check on that, and if the problem is on the dub registry create a bug report there?

Yes, I didn't even notice that :)
