Vaguely sensible initial setup (doable from a template or script) and automatic updates (enable these from a script) solves like 99% of this problem.

- valdiorn 2y agosomeone should make a GUI and a subscription service for that. Oh wait, you just invented the current state of the web :/
- fullspectrumdev 2y agoHonestly, there might be some value in a simple (free) desktop/mobile GUI wrapper that just deploys a “your web presence” container somewhere. The often maligned “setup wizard” UI a lot of us remember from not so long ago actually was kinda neat in many ways. Run “I want a website app” and click through a few simple menus that ask you questions to get you set up with a domain, email, hosting, etc. The defaults would be a selection of ideally smaller/non-FAANG providers, with some power-user menu or some shit gated behind a checkbox. Then it just saves a document with your new CMS/etc logins, and away you go. I guess you could even make a few bucks off it by using referral codes or whatever to fund development cost.
