JUST FUCKING USE PAGESMITH
You don't need a heavy React app and a 5MB bundle for a landing page. Return to the metal. Just use HTML.
THE FUCKING PROBLEM
We've fucking lost our way. We started using tools meant for building complex web applications to build simple marketing websites.
THE FUCKING SPINNER LIE
Why does a user need to download 2MB of JavaScript just to read three paragraphs of text? If your landing page shows a loading spinner, you have already failed.
SEO FUCKING SUICIDE
Lovable and other CSR tools serve a blank white page until the JS bundle downloads. Google hates you. Your SEO score is a 404 error code in spirit.
FUCKING ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM
Vibe coding tools spinning up a heavy sandbox and 2GB of Node modules just to edit a button color? You are literally melting the ice caps. Stop the fucking madness.
Battery Drain
Hydrating a massive React tree burns CPU cycles on your user's mobile device. You are literally stealing their battery life to render a static navbar.
It's time to stop fucking over-engineering.
HTML is already capable.

Hydration is Fucking Heavy.
Islands are Light.
Traditional React apps hydrate the entire ocean. Astro Islands only hydrate the boat. Stop shipping useless JavaScript for static content.

Stop Fucking Around.
