Very nice! I wonder what took so long for something like this. With DodgerCMS anyone can have a website for pennies per month. Thanks!

This looks great, and I was just starting to look into something like this...Does the editor/web-UI run locally, or in AWS?

The editor can run locally or in S3.

Or free, if it was ported to Neocities: https://neocities.org

The S3 stuff looks pretty integrated with the main code though, might be tough to abstract it out.

Nonetheless, this is a great app. I've been pondering making something like this for a while.

I disagree. `Anyone' has it much easier with Google sites.

I hate to be that guy, but why do i have to use amazon? Why can't i compile this locally and push it up to github and just host in there, if its a static site?

You don't have to use Amazon, you can use one of the other 800 non-amazon specific static site generators that exist instead of this one. The fact that a tool doesn't accomplish the particular workflow that you would like doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
