used gatsby for my portfolio website and recently wanted to add a p5 sketch into it and went round the houses for about 2 hours as i did an update which broke everything.

ended up sacking it off, creating a static html/css/vanilla site text right in tag and boom done in about 20 mins.

ridiculously over-engineered. use react if you want the madness, plain if you want to just do something normal

Yeah Gatsby is a solution looking for a problem. As far as I am concerned it is the peak of buzzword driven development.
