Great project. But honestly, I reached to the point of “less JS” or even no js is better for developers and also users. I’m currently migrating my old blog to a new one that gets generated by Zola [1], and even my main portfolio site, which funnily enough I newly made it with React/Gatsby, but I’m redoing it again with Zola because of the performance gap is just unmatched, not to mention I personally sometimes browse the web with js disabled so if a website is completely non-functional or doesn’t even load because of that is a deal breaker. My old site years ago used to use jquery and I was annoyed by it to some degree, trying react and the likes was a nightmare!

I agree! That's why Primo generates static HTML & CSS & only includes [vanilla] JS when its necessary to hydrate any interactive components. All using the Svelte compiler under the hood.

Awesome, thanks, love the project I already signed up! Might give it a try on my company site if I found some templates for commercial sites.
