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 It used to be some people used the nice Ghost GUI admin to publish static sites using the JAMstack idea.

Not sure how well supported that is now.

The idea was that Ghost makes the content available via APIs and some other tool reads the content via API and publishes the static site.

@markstos @homegrown Ghost is either a little spendy or a bit devvy though.

That said you can indeed use it with ssg tools like Hugo and if you can kidnap a technical friend, it's worth a look.
