Let me clarify, Punch can be used both as a static site generator and as well as a client side renderer. Actually, the client-side rendering capability comes as a nice side effect of Punch being written in JavaScript. Screencast was created to quickly highlight the main use case of Punch, which is generating static HTML pages. However, if you read the post further you will find how Punch can be used for client-side rendering. Also if used correctly, client-side rendering should not cause any issues with search engine indexing. Maybe, I will come up with a separate blog post on how to use client-side rendering with Punch to enhance UX of a site without affecting search engine indexing.
