A fast static site generator in a single binary with everything built-in. https://www.getzola.org
So hey, anyone into web design as a hobby? Recently learned about Neocities as a hosting platform (pretty sure the name is an intentional reference to the old Geocities). You can make a website for free or otherwise pay $5 a month for a few extra perks, like using a custom domain if you already own one.
But then I don't know what to pick with that either! Is Publii any good? It seems like what I'd like to use (especially with being able to generate the HTML files on my own computer instead of having to work on an existing server like WordPress) but maybe I'd be better off getting something more well-known. :u
You could use GrapesJS (https://grapesjs.com) to create your website. It's an open-source Wysiwyg editor that can export a zip archive with all the site files, ready to host them in any of the free static hosting solutions out there (Netlify, CloudFlare Pages, Github Pages, Neocities, etc.).
for neocities part of the appeal is that people just make old school personal sites with html and css. dont worry too much about making it super polished. if you must use some extra tooling, maybe try a static site generator. most people like hugo. i prefer zola but ultimately theyre all pretty similar.
