Ask HN: For one-way publishing websites, are JavaScript UI frameworks helpful?

  • Unless you want some special UI, No.

    One example of "special UI" would be using methods from the "Progressive Web Apps" toolkit to make a local copy of a web site you could use offline. You should be able to introduce that into a site which is otherwise pretty ordinary.

  • Not React, but SvelteKit is great. It can export 0kb of JS for static-only sites.
