Exciting things are happening in the world of headless and static WordPress. The REST API is a great direction, but there's also the option of using WordPress in its native format, and publishing it as static. There are some plugins that allow you to do that, like WP2Static, and end-to-end hosting platforms that host the native WordPress site in a staging container and allows users to publish the site to a static production environment. One such platform is Strattic. Disclosure: I'm co-founder and CEO.

Most definitely! I'm really familiar with Headless WordPress but Static WordPress is a concept I recently heard about. First through the "That's my JAMstack" podcast episode with Daniel Olson from Shifter) and then through your awesome talk at Wordcamp London in 2019. I'm super impressed by this idea of static WP, so much so that I wrote a follow up post to this one covering that topic.

I'm so excited by all the developments with WordPress, especially with regards how it fits into the JAMstack ecosystem! And am psyched to dig into this more :)
