| Nov 6, 2023 at 7:01 | comment | added | IntelliData | @Doc Brown I get what you're trying to say, and I appreciate your help. My question is not necessarily about any specific SSG, but about SSGs in general - why would something like that be needed. | |
| Nov 6, 2023 at 6:55 | comment | added | Doc Brown | "I think that instead of trying it every single possible way, it makes more sense to ask" - there are case where it does not make more sense. The answer whether a specific SSG brings you benefits over implementing your requirements in vanilla JS depends mainly on your requirements, how well those are supported by the SSG, your own knowledge of JS and your knowledge of the SSG. You could try to write this all into a question (maybe in a question in a forum for the specific SSG, not here), but the only way for really gettin a useful answer will probably be to try it out. | |

| Nov 5, 2023 at 21:51 | comment | added | IntelliData | Well, I've tried searching google and I haven't really found any good answer to my question. The only other way for me to find out is building my portfolio site with vanilla js, and then again with gatsby etc. I think that instead of trying it every single possible way, it makes more sense to ask, don't you think? | |
