SurveyJS
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.
Eleventy is static site generator that is is able to mix template languages. Content can be written with Markdown or one of the other ten template languages. Or, dynamically create pages from local data or external sources that are compiled at build time. It has zero client-side JavaScript dependencies, so your site is truly static.
For the past couple of weeks I have been exploring Static Site Generators (SSG) in an effort to see what exactly I need that is specific to Next.js and what can be accomplished with just HTML and some CSS. Also to see how much client side javascript is actually necessary.
