Zach moved to new instanceLooking for a dead simple, free, online static website generator that lets me build a simple, nice looking, responsive landing page (single page site), download the files, and dump them onto a web server. And.... go!
Jason Ormes@zcampau jekyll or hugo?
@skryking looks like both of these require me to download and run something locally, which is not a deal breaker -- but easy mode would be I go to www.foo.bar, dump an image and some text on the screen in a WYSIWYG editor, and then click "download files for static and responsive version of this". Btwn the two I'm leaning toward trying jekyll.
@zcampau I used Jekyll for a long time until the site needed too much interactivity to fake it and had to move to a dynamic rails site.
@skryking TBH I'm tempted to just make an image file for the whole landing page and load that. Not very accessible though. I just don't want to have to deal with any kind of package manager or repository cloning or anything. Or I could manually write some very basic HTML but it would look like crap.
@zcampau why not just fire up a text editor and build the html from hand?
@skryking Was hoping to get some better CSS for free by using a site builder. Resizing for different viewports, etc. Could at least get a very basic page done myself from hand.
