#12It's interesting to see people rediscover this idea of "develop locally, push static site to web," but I think the weirdest thing for me is, why was this not a continuous thing? Broadly, this looks good for a blog format, but not sure if that's what people need? Anyway, for those interested, I just use http://zim-wiki.org plus a custom CSS template I did.
Would be interested in seeing your website if you might care to share it?

#13I use Publii for a blog and enjoy it. I wanted actively developed static site generation with some reasonable template/theme options, and I didn't care about multi-user or team collaboration. I achieved multi-device sync via storing Publii in a cloud location. I looked into developing a theme using their theme system and it seemed unattainable for anyone who doesn't have significant time to invest in understanding th…
Does Publii still not officially support git versioning? If it did I probably would have played with it..

#15Wish something would exist as a GUI editor for other static generators, like Hugo.
totally agree, did a deep dive into this and the keywords kept bringing up webflow essentially.

Yes! Dreamweaver was good 19 years ago and remains good today. Being able to see what you're doing, without running like treacle in the browser whilst editing (I'm looking at you, Divi and other WP visual theme builders), is an awesome experience. Like professionals in many other fields expect from their software.

#20Wow, seriously nice work. Downloaded it and started playing around. Pretty much exactly the features I wanted from a CMS. Both simple and powerful.
I attempted to build a CMS years ago and this is pretty much exactly what I wanted to create... but sadly was too incompetent to finish.
Nice initial list of themes, hope they build up a designer community around this.
I could see a commercial hosted version being pretty popular as well (for companies that need to collaborate on posts). Easily could outcompete Squarespace and others.
Anyways, bravo!
