The team is now working on the WordPress Interactivity API. This unblocks the same UX Frontity framework enabled but directly in WordPress Core, fully compatible with the new Site Editor.
I’m opening this thread on behalf of grdivrag, a reddit user that has contacted me there via private message with some questions.
I have one question regarding continuous deployment when hosted on a traditional shared hosting account and when the site is deployed like a static site. How is the generation of permalinks handled, especially when working with custom post types? In Gatsby we have the node-gatsby.js file where the rules for page/permalink generation are defined.

Frontity uses the permalinks you have configured in WordPress. If you want to change the permalinks, you just change them in your WordPress dashboard.

Thanks @luisherranz!
Is important to mention that Frontity doesn’t generate a static site. Instead it generates a JS app with Serverless Pre Rendering (you can read more about it here)
Regarding Custom Post Types, I’ll point to the latest announcement Frontity update: 10 September 2019, as stated there support for custom post types is going to be released really soon.
