Has anyone experimented with its WP importer and could comment about its quality or efficiency?
Not very reliable. There are many reports of problems in the public forum: https://forum.getpublii.com

#22I want a love child of this and Elementor. That would be perfect https://github.com/elementor/elementor
I don't think this will happen in the near future. The app doesn't even support pages properly.

#23Wish something would exist as a GUI editor for other static generators, like Hugo.
Try Quiqr, which just launched at HugoConf: https://open.quiqr.org/ Fair warning, it’s a bit rough around the edges.

Gave it a try - imported my hugo blog but then won't show me any of the content, just says "add content to a new site!" Hopefully this is an easy thing for fixing (I suspect the antiquity of my hugo blog might be confusing the issue.)

#24Huge Publii fan here, glad to see it on the front page.
I feel like the only thing holding Publii back is the lack of theme diversity, and definitely could use some third-party designer love to push it forward.

#25Cool, but it's only for blogs.. I was hoping for something similar with the concept of "pages", and design-blocks

#26my impression of cms means you need login to read the content except for part of them that are set to public,static site is not a cms per that definition to me.
it is perfect for sites contain all public content though.

#27It'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.
> It's interesting to see people rediscover this idea of "develop locally, push static site to web," 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.
Many other fields do not have to edit turing complete results. Also you don’t need WYSIWYG but WYSIWTG, since you want to see what THEY will be getting, they being endless combinations of systems.
I was there, too. Dreamweaver was not good enough.

#28Looks awesome! But why not providing a web interface as well?

#30I've been looking for something like this / thinking of developing a light-weight, similar tool.
