> single-page app SSGs

How does that work? Isn't "single-page app" the exact opposite of a "static site"?

The "app" in this case would be client-side logic (e.g. written in JS) which might then render the blog client-side by pulling down the text for the blog. Ultimately, everything on the server is unchanging until you do a rebuild with new content.

So long as the hosted content isn't dynamically generated server-side when you visit, it's static.

Single page app uses .js to load page inside index.html w/ push state.

I like this 'serverless' approach.

It most certainly is not serverless.

Do you read? Ex: http://martinfowler.com/bliki/Serverless.html

Or dozens of other? You are not in a cave.

Who gave Badri Janakiraman authority to define what serverless is?

martin fowler is an authority.

Found this[1] site some time ago demonstrating an SPA-style static site with no javascript. You end up having to download every article/page though.
