Dreamweaver was a visual code editor, Publii has no resemblance to it.

I think the “web” is still very strong, but it is now extremely commercial. If a person wants to create a website these days is mainly for business purposes. Pretty much all other uses had migrated to the FAANG (or MAANG, rather).

I'm not the OP, but WordPress is quite complex to maintain. Technical tasks like upgrades, backups, security, server maintenance and testing are all your responsibility unless you pay someone good money to do it. It also takes a lot of

> The app didn't work ultimately for me for text-focused reasons but it was the closest thing yet. You can use a portfolio theme in Publii for this purpose, it doesn't have to be text-centric.

Web Tools Weekly is a good one [1]. I've discovered – and used – all sorts of useful tools through it since I signed up. https://webtoolsweekly.com/

Publii is a good one but it lacks proper marketing. It's just not promoted enough. It also does not have a mobile app, and don't support pages. It could be a good solution for non-tech people that want to own their space and can&

Oh, but dreams — even the most wild ones — are coherent, specially over time. They're just not usually obvious to the ego mind.

Publii is an alternative to publish a simple blog for free without paying for hosting from your own computer. It's much, much more simple and limited than WordPress, but this is its strength for some people.

I don't think you misread. This post makes a lot of assumptions based on a small change, in a brief time frame. IMO, it's not enough to dictate that WP market share is really shrinking in any significant way just because it lost l

Everything Shakyamuni has ever said is just a "finger pointed to the moon". It is only known through the memory and writings of other people, so it's sensible to take that statement — and pretty much everything attributed to

They are spending time to host the site, to maintain the domain and to write and review blog posts. This cleary has a cost.

So we must all change our concept of “greatness”. Perhaps more effort to embrace and value what is considered “less” rather than always trying to level up.

Not specifically DALL-E, but you can play with MindsEye beta, which is quite easy to run, considering the complexity of all this stuff: https://multimodal.art/mindseye It doesn't get close to the quality of the art pi

> it will always be devoid of real emotion and passion Unfortunately, this is subject to fraud, and can be manipulated for commercial purposes. I can easily see some “Milli Vanilli“ type of visual artists coming out of this.

There's always some sort of context, this is what allows something to exist in the first place. And even if the artist may define that the context is not “valid”, the audience can make anything it wants with it.

If you have any kind of interest in the psychology field, art therapy is a good candidate, as is based entirely on the value of the artistic output a human being can produce to help him/herself.

Navigation of some sort is absolutely a necessary function for any type of UI that references multiple locations in the same domain. There are none there.

But then you have to know how to maintain it all yourself. This is hard. If you already have the knowledge to maintain such a tech stack, that allegedly neat tool would only be marginally useful.
