People still use Gatsby?
- trallnag 4y agoHugo?
- xeromal 4y agoI know this comment is a joke but in a big production environment, you eventually have to commit to a tech/stack. You can't just change everything every 2 years when a new hotness comes.
- blantonl 4y agoI don't know about you but we change stacks and go on massive rewrites of frameworks and code every two years to stay busy. /s
- winrid 4y agoOh, what's wrong with it? It looked nice and was considering using it for a marketing site.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoIt's pretty tightly coupled to webpack and has a reputation for being extremely slow to rebuild a site. Fine for small sites but I've heard of painful multiple minute long rebuild cycles for large sites with a lot of content.
- si1entstill 4y agoThey give you really nice incremental builds out of the box, which are particularly easy to set up with gatsby cloud (the actual purchase here). Their abstractions are more opinionated, but a lot more "just works" off the shelf with configuration instead of coding.
- winrid 4y agoThis - what I wanted was the incremental builds. Also lots of nice starter templates. I have a custom framework I created for incrementally built docs sites for FastComments - but in the future I was looking into Gatsby for marketing/doc sites. I am not really a NextJS fan. WordPress is an option but I like having the docs in version control.
- UlisesAC4 4y agoI do. I find it better to have the information that I want as static generated in a graphql environment so I can query it wherever I want in the application. Next.js has some "inflexible" rules for the static generated content gathering. For dynamic content both are good.
