Static Websites - The Final Frontier

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

Claims that a modern static site can be authored with React and bundled to a static output while keeping progressive enhancement and per-component JS bundles. Workflow uses Gatsby/npm, webpack and Figma design files, produces a five‑page site with interactive pieces (a countdown) that need small client bundles. Generation scales poorly for millions of pages, rebuilds and dependencies bloat are real problems, and a redesign triggers dozens of issue tickets — the build works but costs time and maintenance.
