I also fell in love with static websites, I built all static, had pipelines for automatic deployments on changes... Just to develop my own dynamic solution a couple of years later. Just that I chose Django + Wagtail.

What I always thought would be a good compromise between two worlds is a way of editing files 'dynamically' and deploying them as pure HTML. Something like having a cache in place, but really using static files.

I don’t really get the point of writing up a whole post on this if you’re not going to make it available or providing a paid service. Perhaps consider one of those.
