> Future-proof your website

> Don't build a website with last decade's tech. The future of the web is mobile, JavaScript and APIs—the JAMstack. Every website is a web app and every web app is a website.

This is everything that makes working in the frontend horrible, and using it worse. Don't make it the future.

This. Exactly this is what gets me. I really do not understand what is wrong with websites being websites and apps being apps.

I've made a similar (albeit far less capable) react framework Dorian.js.

https://github.com/jasongforbes/dorian-js

Takes markdown and yaml to generate a static web-page (designed for landing-pages).

For more information on designing such a framework, see:

I personally think this framework is pretty cool, however unlike an earlier version of it that featured here on HN[1], the Docs and Tutorials section of the site no longer appear to work with Javascript disabled.

Is there a demo of a site generated by gatsby? Sorry if it's there and I couldn't find it.

Gatsby's website is built with Gatsby https://www.gatsbyjs.org/

Gotta say, I'm impressed. I just tested this in a few throttled (CPU and network) cases in Chrome and barely noticed a difference. Bravo!

There is a case study in the blog

Are there similar projects to this one? I was thinking about doing a hack week project with nextjs it seems to have static page generation. How would this compare?
