  Wow, nice collection of themes! I could have really used something like that a few months ago. I developed a Gatsby site and literally spent an hour searching for a good-looking theme.

  I'm a data engineer but my blog is a JAMstack site!

  seisvelas.github.io

  To host the posts I just use embedded Github Gists and call them with the Gist API with React. I made this project at work after one of the web devs did a seminar thing on React Hooks and I wanted to try it out! It's weird how web dev seems to move so fast, yet the general approach seems very similar to the jQuery/PHP days (the last time I did any serious web development).

  Edit: I like this more than static blog generators because I don't have to rebuild / publish when I want to post. I just make a new Gist who's filename starts with 'blog_' and my site will filter for all the blog posts when the page is loaded!

  I thought Jamstack was just sort of a collection rules about the state of the site was tech wise.

  Why would there be a JAMstack specific ... theme?
