Static site generator with no client-side JavaScript framework attached.
Why we recommend it
It ships zero JavaScript by default, which makes it a strong fit for portfolio and content sites where performance and simplicity matter more than interactivity.
Strengths
- Zero JavaScript shipped unless you add it
- Supports many templating languages
- Exceptionally fast builds
Keep in mind
- Smaller ecosystem than Next.js or Astro
- No built-in component model
- Less suited to highly interactive applications
