A static blog is a good fit when the content changes less frequently than the readers access it.

The build can do the expensive work once: parse Markdown, validate frontmatter, remove drafts, and create the final HTML.

Practical defaults

  • Keep the content directory predictable.
  • Make slugs deterministic.
  • Fail the build when required metadata is invalid.

These defaults make the blog easier to maintain as the number of posts grows.
