Not a day goes by when I work on my website that I don’t wish for a simpler setup. No SSG. No npm. No tooling. Just simple HTML with partials imports, vanilla CSS, and whatever vanilla JS is necessary for enhancements.

I just want the HTML partials imports. Why don’t we have them already?!

I can relate. Two years ago I was about to switch to 11ty, but built a zero-dependency setup instead: A nodejs script (=basic SSG) that converts HTML to enriched HTML, so it adds what you would find in partials.

No regrets, although sometimes I miss the simplicity of Markdown.
