Ask HN: How to deploy a React App to a static blog?

I would use vite to build it. Avoid next like the plague.

Vite is great for things like this. I've also stuck them in by themselves using tsc and react-min.js or maybe I ran it through babel by hand. IDK.

Yep Vite is the way to go, especially if it's a static site. While server side react frameworks like Next may technically support static sites, it feels like an afterthought and IMO it adds too much unnecessary complexity.

Here's a shameless plug (and demo) for a static Vite site I deployed with Cloudflare Pages. This tech stack has been awesome to use (and free): https://bufo.nedellis.com/

Just use Astro for this. https://astro.build/

It's one of the lighter React frameworks and perfect for a simple static blog.

You can of course do it with Next too, but it's overkill for a simple blog.

I think Vite will solve all your problems without coupling yourself to a particular framework too much

i use next in export mode
