The idea was to make a static generator for devs and beginners without any tech knowledge.
The Linux version will released with the first stable app version.
Oops, I remember checking this out quite awhile ago. Seems it has gotten awesome. What an excellent way for less technical people to build their own website!
Easy to use for non technical users is Publii https://getpublii.com
It works like a dynamic CMS but generates static output, comes with GUI and clean, lightweight free themes.
Set up publii for a non-technical client, it looked like everything the client needed, but a few stumbling blocks
1) Themes are too limited, there are <10 and the path to customization is not simple. This is a chicken and egg problem, if publii grows, more themes come into the marketplace, but only having a few themes limits growth.
2) Even though it has a pretty good GUI, it is still confusing for non-technical people, and I struggled a lot with it too, mostly because there aren't tooltips next to fields to explain them (e.g. what is the difference between a "title" and a "label" for a link?)
I'll have to unfortunately move to something else for my client, and revisit publii at a later time.
2nding this. And if netlify stops being good, well, Publii has everything saved so I can just upload it someplace else. Having a gui on a static site generator is a must.
Is there a facility that Publii supports, to easily sync locally, before an edit/push (eg if you are using different client systems a lot), either with Google Drive or Git (preferably) ?
I never saw this feature listed when looking at Publii, which kept me from trying it.
Note, please don't say just sync down from the server before doing anything locally; I don't want that to be the point of record. I'd rather that be Git.
