That is an argument for static sites — which I fully agree with. I do not understand this particular pre-packaged approach. These things are trivial to build in a site-specific way, and you do not need to sacrifice quite as much flexibility to do it.

- VvR-Ox 7y agoI think "pre-packaged" approaches like this (or hugo, gatsby etc.) try to solve a very specific purpose. As I see it from a quick glance this one is for people who want to publish math/science work and therefor it supports rendering LaTex. I read about people building shops with SSG's and I myself use hugo for many tasks. Sure I could still do it manually but I prefer writing content in markdown and SSG's like hugo because I am way faster and don't tend to forget something. When I build the site then everything is included and I am ready to deploy. SSG's work with neat little plugins to ease your work with SEO, links and whatnot and while I didn't understand this in the first place I sure did when I finished my first project with hugo. Just give it a shot and tell us why you still don't need an SSG but rather stick to coding everything yourself. I will never look back and I enjoy working with SSG's.
