React-Static

@m_lukaszczyk React components?

@m_lukaszczyk their medium article compares it to Gatsby (and others): https://medium.com/@tannerlinsle...

@embed_api Gatsby is also based on React.

@tannerlinsley @norbertdragan Thx. Will take a look!

@m_lukaszczyk sorry then I ihaven't used gatsby much that's is why...

@buraktokak Good question. As was mentioned, the linked Medium article (https://medium.com/@tannerlinsle...) goes into more detail. In short, you can spin up Create React App and be running, without having to conform to Gatsby design decisions. That's not to say that their opinions are bad/wrong, as forcing your data into a Gatsby store allows for them to do some magic on your behalf, but I'd rather write my app closer to pure React. The end result of Gatsby and React Static is similar. They both generate static html and both mount React after the first page load, allowing for a SPA-like experience. They both load just small data packages (js bundles for Gatsby, json data for React Static) on subsequent page loads, so they'll both have similar performance.

@icyflame The whole build process only takes a minute or two and will run on a CI server, so that shouldn't be much of a concern. Even if you had a site with tens of thousands of pages, it still wouldn't take that long to deploy, and you could even set it up to only rebuild the parts that had changed. WordPress is essentially doing a page build on every single request, so once you've had a few dozen/hundred pageviews, you've already done more work than an entire new build.
