Usability problems like what?
- mod 11y agoLike George from sales making a new page or editing a call to action.
- scott_karana 11y ago> Usability problems like what? Understanding of the command line, delayed WYSIWYG feedback loop, FTPing/synchronizing files. Some generators don't even tackle "pretty, easy to install templates a la Wordpress" either. All surmountable, but I haven't seen an "all in one, easy to use" fix yet. I'd love if I could recommend a single client-side app for people to use that did it all. Something like Coda but tailored for beginners?
- ams6110 11y agoFrankly, I'm not sure it matters. Give the average user a CMS with a WYSIWYG editor and you soon end up with a hodgepodge of fonts, sizes, eye-jarring colors, general inconsistency, and 2MB images rendered as 48x48 icons.
- scott_karana 11y agoYeah, and the point is, they were able to accomplish something... I'd be surprised if those same users could even manage to create a single, text-only post in most (pre-setup!) static generators. Never underestimate agency. A working, ugly solution beats the hell out of a better solution that they can't understand.
