That's very good to know. I've added the version of Sapper in the beginning of the article because I also had the same feeling that Sapper is not ready for complex applications yet. I read that the authors of the open-source software are telling us the same on their web page.

I think for the early state of the project a lot more things are working than I would have imaged. E.g. I can change the tailwind.config.js and it gets recompiled on the fly. But from time to time (more often than I'd like to) I have to restart the process.

I totally enjoy writing it, it feels even more "vanilla-javascriptishy" than Vue. Amazing that you've tried it out for more complex applications and giving us your insights.

You can check out my source code for my blog. I am hosting on Zeit Now instead of Netlify, otherwise pretty similar.

The one thing I did was try and replace Gridsome, which uses GraphQL to access Markdown files.

I am not 100 hundred percent happy with the final output. I want to get the graphql into the page itself, instead of the JSON file, but it worked out well. It keeps the request only having the data I need.
