> it seems like reverting from "Web Applications" back to "Web Sites"
I want to push back against this idea that "Web Applications" represent uniform forward momentum for the web, while "Web Sites" are somehow archaic. This seems to be a fairly common perception, but it strikes me as a false dichotomy.
Both are distinct and useful things. Static site generation isn't a good solution for interactive applications – conversely, React is a poor choice for building low-interactivity web pages.
