I've wanted to make a static site generator generator for a while. Run the script and out comes another script with a wicked cool name that uses one of the many markup options, header formats, and templating engines (either manually or randomly selected).

Somebody, please make this.

is there an ssg that is entirely web based? I don't want local files or to use a terminal. I would move away from Wordpress (and would like to) if something let me click a few buttons to set up a simple blog. I don't need anything fancy.. Let me make some basic choices and post my blogs.

Shameless plug...

If you like WordPress as a writing and management tool, it's worth noting that there are several static site generators for WordPress.[1][2]

https://phenomic.io is missing in the list

Have you used Phenomic? What's the difference to Gatsby?

I was going to use it but stuck with Jekyll for now, but they have a FAQ page for that [0].

There were also a few mentions of Phenomic on Gatsby's discussion from a while back [1]. Search for it on that thread.
