How to use React, webpack and other buzzwords if there is no need
summary
Generates a multilingual static blog using Metalsmith, renders pages with React + webpack, and serves plain HTML from GitHub Pages; code and posts live open on GitHub. Uses CSS Modules plus one component in styled-components. Stack runs locally with dev server and builds static output; the site has been running for over a year. A rendering bug turns out to be a webpack misconfiguration, fixed so styled-components work as expected.
