My journey of building static websites

1. Plain HTML and CSS;

2. Write everything in React, build it with react-static;

3. react-static is deprecated, switch to next.js;

4. don't like next.js for some reason, then write a script to parse markdown file to HTML;

5. Still like to use React, so switched to react-snap to build;

6. react-snap doesn't work on WSL in Windows for some reason. So I built a rich text editor + an endpoint to upload the HTML to S3. I type and I click, then it's live. And fast.

For example this new site: mobilepdf.net

How do you build static websites?
