It’s more like their assumptions are ok. I mean I think we all agree on the
privacy need and take-back-the-web thing. But I don’t understand how they
switch so quickly from these assumption to
yet-another-static-website-generator. Ok it’s in js, maybe kind of new. But
woah, there is already a lot of static website generator and I’m not sure to
understand their point.

Agreed, and then they throw this out there.

"... we also need tools specifically optimised for building single-tenantweb applications ..."

I think part of the problem of the web these days is that everything seemsto want to be an application. The small web really can (should?) just be afolder with some files and a web server. It worked for the first 25 years.

As a side question since I just noticed -- why does their smallweb staticsite generator feature a Twitch.tv replacement above the fold? Whois their audience?
