Gridsome is another open-source framework for building static websites, but it is based on VueJs while Gatsby is based on React.

You just deploy any of these frameworks, write the minimum amount of code you need to make your profile pretty and deploy it to Netlify. No need for a lot of tools, plugins and whatnot.

Should you want to add a blod or whatever type of dynamic data, you use a free headless content management and done.

I don't know how to respond to that in a meaningful way. I do understand how static site generators work but I am not talking about any of the things you mentioned. The only time saver for my project would have been an outlook calendar plugin. With neoan3 I am not only faster when developing a simple start-page, but since I don't have to deal with node deployment is also way easier as I don't need to proxy anything on the server (or have to use hosting solutions that do it for me like heroku or netlify). And of course I am biased as a contributor, but I honestly think neoan3 is the fastest way you can develop server side rendered pages.
