Hey, self-hosting people, need your help!

Could you recommend static site generators suitable for non-technical people? i.e. Ones that work without needing any command lines, that work entirely graphically.

(There's an odd paradox that static sites are technically much simpler but their editors are often harder to use.)

@homegrown@social.growyourown.services you're right about the paradox - SSGs are simple, so by definition putting a GUI on top makes them complex.

Basically it sounds like they're after a desktop application that can output a bunch of HTML files...like Dreamweaver 🤣

Not sure what there is today that does the same. Must be something. Isn't there that Zim wiki thing that can output HTML? Technically that would do it, but probably lacking theming.
