Building Static Sites with React
summary
Claims that React can produce full static sites by rendering components to files using renderToString and renderToStaticMarkup, matching every path from a react-router config and emitting files with a webpack plugin. Shows actual steps: Node FS writes HTML, wrapping app in a full document, and using static hosts (GitHub Pages, Netlify, Surge) or AWS Lambda for dynamic bits. Reports it worked: company marketing site and a personal site were rebuilt and load even with JavaScript disabled, giving SEO, performance and simpler deployment.
