This minimalist static site generator pattern is only for JavaScript developers who want something small, fast, flexible, and comprehensible

The article details a minimalist pattern for creating a custom static site generator (SSG) with zero dependencies. It argues that for simple blogs, configuring a complex SSG like Astro can be more work than coding a bespoke solution. The author demonstrates using plain JavaScript objects and pure functions to read, transform, and write a site's file tree, offering a small, fast, and comprehensible alternative for developers.
