I’m interested in tools suitable for client side / static apps for use will Solid, SPARQL etc, and wonder if anyone has experience of, or comments on [React-static](https://www.staticgen.com/react-static) and [gatsbyjs.org](http://gatsbyjs.org).

Both seem suitable at first glance and could be used with @RubenVerborgh’s React components I think (so LDflex very neatly) but I’m new to these frameworks having not done any serious front end stuff myself.

Gatsby.js seems state of the art and trendy, and oriented towards GraphQL but I’m not sure if this is an advantage or taking us away from easier integration with RDF/SPARQL, and any other pros and cons. Any thoughts?

EDIT: I’ve been looking into React-static and like the look of it, wrote [some findings](https://forum.safedev.org/t/gatsby-js-react-style-static-website-generator-for-safe-network/2295/9?u=happybeing) up as part of a similar topic on the SAFE Dev forum.
