It's frustrating the lack of simple tooling out there for static site generation. I have had to write bespoke static site generator build scripts just to get things working.

Everything is React and SSR these days - like people please - it's not that complicated. TypeScript is an acceptable amount of overhead. Use React only if you absolutely need it and even then, use it super carefully because it has no seatbelts.

Petite-vue is a nice middle ground for 99% of websites and I am sad that this approach (templating) to build dynamic content doesn't have more investment.



With Sveltekit it's quite easy to generate a static site, I've had good experiences with it
