Consider Static Site Generator

[cy-by]

Summary

Should we move this site to a static site generator?

Review all the options

If we go the route of using a static generator, there are a ton of great options. I'm going to list a few that I use and love:

• VuePress - Static site using Vue.js
• Gatsby - Static site using React.js
• Jekyll - Static site using Ruby (the OG generator)

I personally love Vue.js. Gatsby is fun to work with. I've created many Jekyll sites, but the industry is very slowly moving away from it (at least it's not in the bleeding edge anymore).

Reasons to keep it simple

There is an argument to not move this site into a static site generator. It would take some time to make and add some more overhead and assumed knowledge for people to help maintain it.

As Tom suggested, It would be possible to write simple vanilla JavaScript to scrape a .json file and add the content to the "Archive" page. We would have to write out documentation on the proper way to add the json, so that anyone could create a ticket or some process to easily update.
