I can understand the confusion. Best to think of it like this, "Harp" is a static web server with built in preprocessing. "Harp Platform" is a service for running Harp apps in production.

- "Command line" - happens to be the way you access the web server.

- "Generating static assets" is just a feature of the web server.

- "Dropbox integration" is just a feature of the platform.

Hope that helps clear things up.

It's mainly between HarpJS.com and harp.io, where on HarpJS there's a command line utility that works like a static site generator, and on harp.io it's hosted. I think it works pretty well that way, just like Wordpress has a self-hosted platform as well as a hosted one.

Harp doesn't aim to be a static site generator, quite the opposite I feel.

It just allows you to throw (language/technology-agnostic) files in a directory and serve them. Dropbox seems like a good match for this.

Oooh, and also a kind of beer!
