Rebuilding Our Jekyll Website with Next.js and Theme UI

• Gatsby

  357 55,043 9.3 JavaScript

  The best React-based framework with performance, scalability and security built in.

  

That said, while there are a lot of options, when it comes to choosing a foundational tool like a framework that you’re going to sink a lot of time and effort into, it’s best to choose something with a big community. Gatsby and Next.js are the two most popular projects (by GitHub stars) so our choice was between them.

• theme-ui

  19 5,215 8.2 TypeScript

  Build consistent, themeable React apps based on constraint-based design principles

  

The core of Theme UI is its Theme file. It’s a document that defines all of a design system’s components and variants:

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• tachyons

  41 11,592 7.6 CSS

The concept of utility classes had been around for a long time but utility frameworks like Tachyons and Tailwind took them to their logical conclusion.

• Next.js

  The React Framework

• Jekyll

  :globe_with_meridians: Jekyll is a blog-aware static site generator in Ruby

  

Jekyll was one of the first Ruby-based static site generators and is an impressive twelve years old now. In general it’s held up pretty well for us but one area where we really started to feel some pain was in the asset pipeline.
