So many people have tried and are now using `react-static` in production since it’s release last month and we couldn’t be more excited for the future of the library! After using it for ourselves in production for the last month, we wanted to have a quick state-of-the-library and talk about it!

## Straight to it then!
We’ve made a list of the notable features of react-static that have continued to impress us and our users for the last month!

- It’s light. __Very light__. Both in the sense of the bundle sizes it produces, and the codebase itself. It has been very easy to maintain and upgrade, even for first-time contributors!
- Extremely simple api surface. __Feels like you’re using `create-react-app`__ for static-sites!
- __Data-agnostic__. We can’t describe how nice it’s been to work with our data in the most familiar context available: __Simple Javascript__.
- Amazing developer experience. On the daily, we get both new and experienced developers praising it. __It’s just down right fun to use__. 
- Extremely fast build times. There are already websites with __hundreds of pages__ using react-static. Their build times are outstanding.

Just recently, we saw [Timber.io](https://timber.io) move to react-static from Next.js They had this to say about react-static:

> React-Static FTW. Fastest sites on the internet, especially with Netlify. Also, preact-static would be sweeeet :)

Which brings us to our roadmap!

## Roadmap
We’ve got some great things in the pipeline:
- Hardcore SEO utilities. Think Yoast but for React ;)
- Pre-built connectors for notable CMS’s like Contentful, GraphCMS, and more!
- Intelligent data-splitting for JSON files and templates.
- Using react-static for more than just static websites. It’s already been a create-react-app replacement for a few of our users. We’ve also got our eyes set on hybrid environments too!
- Preact Support.

Dogfooding React-Static for a month: Static-site heaven, upgrades, community growth and roadmap!

At Nozzle.io, we take SEO, site performance, and user/developer experience very seriously. We’ve launched many sites using different static site tools that claim to solve these goals, but we have yet to find one that satisfies our requirements completely. React-Static is the framework we carefully designed to meet those standards and help everyone build next generation, high-performance websites for the internet.
