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.)

Hey @manland thank you 🙏 @homegrown

Yes, one can self-host @silex, or just the websites made with it

It's a visual layer on top of HTML/CSS, for people learning web design or making sites for clients with a #JAMStack pipeline (headless CMS, git forge, CI, SSG). Skills go both ways: what you learn in Silex is useful in code, and if you know CSS you feel at home in Silex

If you don't want to learn web standards, it's not the right tool. I believe that @publii with a template works really well
