If SSGs generate static pages from static files, then JSON files are their databases.
I’ve been poking around and figured out how to generate a page from a JSON (my Backloggery replacement), how to use it to make consistent icons across partials and shortcodes¹, and how to maybe² make a whole minuscule blog (microblog, but smaller) completely from one file, which makes a one command to publish idea even easier, since you don’t have to worry about directories or front matter or anything.
