WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Very nice. Like my own stuff, you have an index file and dependent media per folder, which is the only real way to scale out beyond a few dozen pages (my site has… a few more - https://taoofmac.com/static/graph)
One suggestion I’d make is to do two passes—one to index all the inter-page links, another to actually render the templates. I do that (and full text search) with SQLite: https://github.com/rcarmo/sushy/blob/master/sushy/models.py
Facebook's React/Markdown SSG docusaurus does those things: https://docusaurus.io/
Though you may have to use a plugin for responsive images: https://docusaurus.io/docs/api/plugins/@docusaurus/plugin-id...
I'll slightly modify your argument; because Pure HTML does suck:
Why don't people make static sites with a simple "Markdown-or-Similar to HTML" converter, CSS, and vanilla JS...etc?
(This is what I do, btw -- http://zim-wiki.org + a template)
