Gatsby founder here. Really appreciate the feedback and support for our launch today! The team worked super hard to get Incremental Builds live in public beta but are taking all the feedback (here and all over the web) as we go into full launch. Let us know what you think. Thanks!

Kyle, Just read the post, congrats on the launch! We've been using Gatsby on: https://mintdata.com https://mintdata.com for the past few years, and are huge fans of your work. I still recall the day when I brought Gatsby into our org, our front-end guys almost ate me alive :D They said: a React.render(...) + GraphQL thing, why do we need it? What's the big deal? Fast forward a few years later, and Gatsby dominates (in my opinion) the best way to build a static website based on React. Keep up the awesome work! Your true fan, Denis

  Wow MintData looks so cool! I was just trying to figure out whether Webflow can be used to build simple apps, then I saw this, a whole new level. Is there a way to try it?

Thanks for the great piece of software! I really like how the Gatsby community is dabbling in templates for more than just blogs. I've seen documentation sites, landing pages, and notes. Here are some thoughts on my experience with Gatsby: - You've done a lot of work to make configuring Gatsby easier, but I still seem to constantly hit roadblocks trying to get the config I want. For example I was running into problems getting MermaidJS, embedded video (that I was hosting on my own machine, not on YouTube), and mdx files all working together. - I've been thinking that Gatsby is the perfect framework for creating semantic web content. E.g., you could have calendar events sprinkled through a website and create a GraphQL API for listing those calendar events, and that API would be accessible during the build process.

  Interesting, what were the challenges you faced with MDX? We built https://mintdata.com/docs https://mintdata.com/docs on it, and it's been proverbially better than sliced bread -- that is, a true joy to work with MDX. What're the challenges/pitfalls you faced with MDX + Gatsby?

Hi Kyle, Gatsby was my second static site generator (after Jekyll) and something I have stuck with the longest. I know you guys are working towards SSR as well, but do you see a particular point of convergence between what you're doing and Nextjs. Because it seems that given Nextjs SSR, SSG and everything else working now...Gatsby will get to where Nextjs is today.

  Yeah. Next js already supports static site generation.
