Ask HN: 2020 Equivalent of Microsoft Frontpage?
Hey HN, I was working on some static site generator stuff when I realized that the generator part is much better off running on my computer. Why run a huge generator server program when I can compile it down to HTML, throw it up on Apache, and party like it's 1999? When you think about it that way, running something like Jekyll seems so inefficient and a waste of compute resources on both my machine and whatever server it ends up on.
So there's the reason for my question. What's the 2020 equivalent for Microsoft Frontpage? Webapps like Squarespace do not count, it must install and run on my computer. Any modern OS is fair game.
