I use React for static sites and really enjoy it.
* as it’s simplest, it’s a really easy to use templating tool.
* there are a tools that compile to mostly static HTML, so not performance hits
* theres almost always something that pushes you to want some JS. React is handy to have. It also opens the door to all of the the community packages. No sense to re-invent the wheel.
- TX81Z 3y agoCurious what you mean by “almost always something” that makes you use JS? What besides shitty/illegal tracking code and cookies do you need to include? Honest question.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoIn my case, we wanted to gather feedback on a product we were launching. Because we wanted to move fast, we’re in a regulated industry, and our initial tests were simple, we decided to built a simple “chatbot” style feedback tool. More generally, forms. Forms always seems to morph into more than just simple inputs.
- TX81Z 3y agoThanks for the reply, forms are such a pain in the ass. Of course you need hard input sanitizing on the backend but just helping people fill out a form correctly can require some JS.
