Soupault: A static website management tool
Those have complicated stacks that likely won't serve the person that can't grasp a CLI SSG.
https://getpublii.com has a simple GUI and is just a directory on your computer (inside the Dropbox directory for crude backup?).

Show HN: Pages CMS – A CMS for GitHub
Very nice! It looks a bit like Publii [0], but the editor part is cloud hosted instead of running as an app on your machine.

How to migrate my static website from GitHub to a NAS, while using Publii?
I'd like to ask for some help regarding on how to "migrate" my website to my personal storage, more specifically how to do that while having everything made with Publii.

The theory versus the practice of “static websites”
I haven't used it, but Publii[0] might be along the lines of what you're thinking of. I ran across it in a previous HN discussion, and it seems to be static site generator with a pretty user-friendly graphical interface.

We need to Speak about Google Code Quality
I could do the same exercise with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, but luckily I don't need to, since Plausible already did. A piece of advice, rip out Google Analytics and use Plausible instead. It first of all doesn't destroy your website, and secondly it doesn't violate the GDPR - So you can embed it on your site without having to warn your visitors about that they're being spied on by Google.

Plausible as an alternative to Google Analytics
I just swapped out Google Analytics with Plausible for AINIRO.IO. It’s only been a week, but so far I am super jazzed about it. First of all, Plausible doesn’t use cookies, so I can completely drop all cookie disclaimers and popups I had because of GDPR. Second of all, the site scores significantly better on load time. This results in a 10x better user experience for my website visitors, while making sure the website is still 100% conforming to GDPR laws.

Simple no bs persistent notepad
No clue what you mean, browser cache might even clear itself without you doing anything manually. This thing makes no sense.
Nowhere ever did it say Tech Demo anywhere, not in the HN headline, not on the page itself. No, thanks. And even as a tech demo, there is nothing impressive going in. It is stores shit to local storage, I guess. Lol, I just looked this up, and it was in Firefox on 2009 already? WHAT? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/loca... I never used it myself directly, but I remember reading about some API that kind of is the new version of cookies that can store more and better and I think that is it. 2009, I would swear what I think about was newer, maybe I am mixing something up, maybe not.
It has unnecessarily tracking from the comment above, not sure if it even sends all your notes to https://plausible.io, and I do not care. For me, this fails as a tech demo or whatever the fuck It's supposed to be. Sorry to not get all excited about everything posted here. In 2009 it for sure would ;)

Using Analytics on My Website
If you already use Posthog, Web Analytics has been in Public Beta for quite some time.[1]
If I remember correctly, CloudFlare Analytics does not need you to register your domain with them. I personally feel keeping domain registration coupled with your DNS provider is not a good idea.
Plausible[2] has an Open Source self-hostable version but is not so updated in sync with their SaaS version.
Umami[3] is another simple, clean one. And, of course, as many have suggested, Matomo is the other well-established one. If you want to avoid maintaining a hosting routine, a lot do the hosting out of the box these days. PikaPods[4] was good when I tried and played around for a while.

Ask HN: What is the least obnoxious way to ask for cookie permissions?
You log the IP address, referrer, user agent and the requested page URL but you don't set a unique cookie to identify the user.
This still gets you plenty of actionable analytics information: where geographically people are located (via GeoIP), what pages are most popular, what platforms (including desktop vs mobile) people are using.
I've been using https://plausible.io for analytics on a bunch of my sites for a couple of years now and I honestly don't miss the extra level of detail I got from cookie-based analytics I've used in the past.
