    Gotta say, I'm impressed. I just tested this in a few throttled (CPU and network) cases in Chrome and barely noticed a difference. Bravo!

I've made a similar (albeit far less capable) react framework Dorian.js. https://github.com/jasongforbes/dorian-js https://github.com/jasongforbes/dorian-js Takes markdown and yaml to generate a static web-page (designed for landing-pages). For more information on designing such a framework, see: https://www.jforbes.io/posts/first-thing-first-part-1 https://www.jforbes.io/posts/first-thing-first-part-1 https://www.jforbes.io/posts/first-thing-first-part-2 https://www.jforbes.io/posts/first-thing-first-part-2

Are there similar projects to this one? I was thinking about doing a hack week project with nextjs it seems to have static page generation. How would this compare?

I personally think this framework is pretty cool, however unlike an earlier version of it that featured here on HN[1], the Docs and Tutorials section of the site no longer appear to work with Javascript disabled.

> Future-proof your website > Don't build a website with last decade's tech. The future of the web is mobile, JavaScript and APIs—the JAMstack. Every website is a web app and every web app is a website. This is everything that makes working in the frontend horrible, and using it worse. Don't make it the future.

  This. Exactly this is what gets me. I really do not understand what is wrong with websites being websites and apps being apps.
