I think "pre-packaged" approaches like this (or hugo, gatsby etc.) try to solve a very specific purpose.

As I see it from a quick glance this one is for people who want to publish math/science work and therefor it supports rendering LaTex.

I read about people building shops with SSG's and I myself use hugo for many tasks.

Sure I could still do it manually but I prefer writing content in markdown and SSG's like hugo because I am way faster and don't tend to forget something. When I build the site then everything is included and I am ready to deploy.

SSG's work with neat little plugins to ease your work with SEO, links and whatnot and while I didn't understand this in the first place I sure did when I finished my first project with hugo.

Just give it a shot and tell us why you still don't need an SSG but rather stick to coding everything yourself.

I will never look back and I enjoy working with SSG's.
