A list of themes and starters for JAMstack sites

Wow, nice collection of themes! I could have really used something like that a few months ago. I developed a Gatsby site and literally spent an hour searching for a good-looking theme.

I'm a data engineer but my blog is a JAMstack site!

To host the posts I just use embedded Github Gists and call them with the Gist API with React. I made this project at work after one of the web devs did a seminar thing on React Hooks and I wanted to try it out! It's weird how web dev seems to move so fast, yet the general approach seems very similar to the jQuery/PHP days (the last time I did any serious web development).

Edit: I like this more than static blog generators because I don't have to rebuild / publish when I want to post. I just make a new Gist who's filename starts with 'blog_' and my site will filter for all the blog posts when the page is loaded!

Super cool. Github Gists as a headless CMS, now that's creative!

Great idea using Gists to power your blog!

Regarding "rebuild / publish when posting" Some static site generators can generate sites in a matter of milliseconds. The advantage of using static sites is having fully SEOed site. Though it might require of having an additional step of manually triggering the build, or if possible, wiring the build process to some kind of webhook when the content changes, or in your case, a Gist is added.

I thought Jamstack was just sort of a collection rules about the state of the site was tech wise.

Why would there be a JAMstack specific ... theme?

Currently, JAMstack well supported by infrastructure. I suppose, why not to have themes to build sites in minutes? Pick theme -> deploy.

Has there ever been a better time to be a web developer!?

Good stuff Ohad and team!

This is so useful
