@dryak@mstdn.science Static site generators are still generally command line, which isn't remotely similar to a WYSIWYG program, imo. Much higher barrier to entry, even if you only use a standard template. And that's before you get to figuring out how to use git (for GitHub/GitLab pages) or Netlify.
There is Publii, which I think is still around? GUI plus integration with free hosting. @ifixcoinops@retro.social

@eladnarra@disabled.social @ifixcoinops@retro.social hence the "mostly". Though: - they aren't CLI by necessity, it should be possible to wrap a nice GUI around (just like the countless existing GUI that wrap around cd burning and ripping tools, ffmpeg, etc.) - there *are* WISIWYG markdown editors - Git isn't required. Some registrars (e.g. Infomaniak) offer a tiny static website that you can SFTP into (with FileZilla) to deposit you static files. The building block are here.
