First comments on top threads
HN comment orderThis may sound counter intuitive, but I am befuddled with all these static site generators always CLI. Yet, I delight in static sites. Why is are all static site generators (that I am aware of) are CLI? What prevent simplistic drag and drop GUI/WYSIWYG that generates those clean static files? All the static generators I have tested are way over-complicated for the "general public", yet I think static sites are probably the best option for most sites.
Mysteriously, their glossary contains this definition. chim The secret syllable of royalty.
