My work has moved largely from Ruby to JS, so I've been enjoying Gatsby! It's probably overkill for simple sites, but I like how customizable it is.

For React-based projects, I would advocate for Next.js…but yeah, unless you know you need React for very specific reasons, it's definitely overkill. =)

Next.js is cool, but afaik takes a server, right? Gatsby is nice because you get React for component re-use + styling, but it builds into regular HTML+JS files and can live on (abundant, free) static site hosts.

It's primarily used with a server, correct. However, you can use `next export` which will generate only static assets (like HTML, JS, and CSS). Certain features aren't available that require a server (like i18n routing) but you can still do a lot!
