I thought gatsbyjs was a nice medium ground. You have the familiarity of a single-page app in terms of stack and yet have the quick loading times and back button, SEO all of that since it produces a static site. I thought it was genius but I'm biased because I like react.
- erlend_sh 9y agoAgreed. The old CERN website is pretty fast, but Gatsby actually loads subsequent pages much faster — hardly any discernible delay.
- _sdegutis 9y agoFunny you mention it, I just started looking into rewriting my portfolio website (http://sdegutis.com http://sdegutis.com) from a custom node-based static site generator to use Gatsby.js, in order to get more practice with React.js. Really curious to hear what other HN regulars who've used Gatsby think of it...
- sebringj 9y agoI used it actually because I love react but needed to work with a great designer who already knew sass and I needed to include react components but also wanted to hook it up with a cms too. Check check check... keeps going and produces a static site. Wow. Even the designer could use this and modify things for simple components, not knowing react. I'm pretty happy so far.
