- ryanisnan 7y agoIf you're building an application that requires the uses of these APIs, I'd hardly call that a static site, but maybe that's just me.
- thethirdone 7y agoStatic site generally just refers to the server serving static files. I have several simple games hosted on Github Pages using the storage API which is on that list.
- Avamander 7y agoHTTP/2 is one of those things that only works over HTTPS so it can absolutely be a static site being served over it.
