I discovered Bridgetown by following the link back from [serbea](https://www.serbea.dev/), which looks like a really nice erb replacement (I was googling around for what people were doing with rails templates these days and serbea caught my eye as the nicest looking option)

This site does a really bad job at explaining why I should use this product. It looks like they are trying to hard.

haha, I liked the section "Excited to get started? Woohoo! In case you’re wondering, Bridgetown is a progressive site generator...." Like, who is so excited to get started that they yell woo hoo, but are still wondering what Bridgetown even is, at the most vague level?

"Excited to start taking Snarflorvex? Yabba dabba doo, we are too!!1! In case you're wondering, Snarflorvex is a topical hernia medication...."

I doomscrolled through the entire user praise section to find three lines of commandline or code usage. Nothing of the sort.

On the topic of Jekyll, can anyone recommend a reliable GUI that a non-technical content team can use that integrates nicely with Jekyll? I’ve tried a few “headless CMS” options but the editing experience isn’t great, and integration is hard.
