By the developers of Gatsby is a minus, not a plus makes me think this is going to be the next abandonware.
- user9999999999 2y agogatsby was one of the first static react frameworks, now you have things like nextjs remix astro etc... i dont think abandonware is fair, thats just the way software goes
- squillion 2y agoGatsby never made sense to me. Weird design decisions I couldn’t find any plausible reason for. As soon as Next.js became capable of doing SSG I convinced my team to abandon Gatsby. Definitely a minus, sorry.
- paultannenbaum 2y agoSurprised this is comment is not higher. Gatsby was one of the worst technologies I have worked with in my long career of working with various JS libraries and frameworks. Im sure the team is smart and capable, but I would not be advertising their work with Gatsby.
- benatkin 2y agoThe character Gatsby didn't function very well either (as far as being a successful person goes, I quite liked the book and he functioned well as a character) :) However, the Gatsby CMS had a couple of things that were really interesting about it - especially runtime type safety through GraphQL and doing headless WordPress.
- epolanski 2y agoInteresting, because GQL was the most divisive thing of Gatsby.
- christina97 2y agoSame experience, I had the exact same thought. Was new to react and had to make a website… big mistake, wasted so many hours untangling the regex and hacks keeping together Gatsby over the next few years until that website was retired.
