Emdash?

He is still an authority for many people, though, and not without reason. Just not within academia.

It isn't. This would be a plugin inside EmDash.

Oh, at least here in Brazil, people still find it strange if you say you don't have an Instagram account. There's this idea of being a bit weird for not following this trend.

This one is a keeper.

He was just a kid, man.

Pinegrow is awesome, thanks for keeping it alive.

There's an app called Wappler that was developed by the same folks from DMXzone, which was quite well-known for its Dreamweaver add-ons at the time. It's the closer you will find of a direct successor.

Sometimes, meaning (which is heavily connected to the way people feel) is all that makes people survive. Ask Viktor Frankl.

Twitter/X had a hard time in Brazil recently and was temporarily banned. Meta is now feeling more intense pushback from Brazil's judiciary power.

Generate a static site from WordPress itself with the Simply Static plugin.

Publii is another one with static generation capabilities (https://getpublii.com)

Or you could just use publii, an office suite of your choice, or type bad html and css by hand, then pass raw files on very cheap hosting providers, enjoying a clunky, and sometimes ugly, "website".

WordPress folks are working to enable static generation using WordPress Playground. It will work pretty much like Publii does today.

I hope the outlook becomes reality.

The power of WordPress lies in its community, branding, and marketplace. The options you mentioned simply don't compete in these areas.

The problem is that right now the pathways to quickly bootstrap a WordPress site with a good enough, customized theme are hidden under SaaS providers, like hosting companies. Use InstaWP or ZipWP, for example, and you can start in just minutes.

This is great as it is, but I would love to see support for posts in plain HTML. There's a huge potential for static sites generated by Webflow and other platforms like it. Hosting costs are the biggest issue with these platforms. It would help so many designers and marketing teams that don't have access to a developer or simply don't want (or don't know how) to set up themselves a Jekyll, Next.js, Astro, Hugo, or Nuxt website.

Wappler and Pinegrow are the closest, I think. Desktop apps with visual authoring capabilities, while also supporting plain code.

Bricks Builder on the WordPress side is really interesting for this.

Given the increasing number of people using page builders and no-code tools, these novelties are, in practice, either invisible or delayed for a large portion of websites until it makes business sense for the companies behind the software powering these tools.

Logseq, which is a note-taking app much like Obsidian, can also generate a static site from its notes natively. It has a mobile app, which is very helpful when you are on the move. It is quite idiosyncratic, but it works well if you know your way around it. https://discuss.logseq.com/t/how-to-publish-your-logseq-as-a....

Another option is Pinegrow, an NW.js desktop-based website development app that uses plain HTML, CSS, and JS, just like Dreamweaver. Its UI is quite complicated, but you can hide what's not necessary for you. It also includes a bare-bones CMS, but it's not mandatory to use. It's not open-source, though.

It will likely exist as a niche thing, but it will be abstracted into an easy-to-use service, much like social media is today.

Downloading and using fonts available on Fontesk can be a huge trap. Read it's “Licensing” page. It's simply not safe to use fonts downloaded there, one should really use it only for discovery, at best.

Need to get the intrinsic design approach right first, that's lot to cover.

Have you seen Publii? It seems to be a solution somewhat similar to the one you described. It's quite limited compared to WordPress, which can be a good thing.

“Unconscious” in ancient Greek would be better translated as ἀνεξήγητος (unspeakable, ineffable). They are related, sure, but not the same. In fact, “Logos” quite opposes the Unconscious in Jungian Psychology. [1]

Of course, ChatGPT can only respond about things already created, it cannot create new things. This would be AGI territory.

The core team already has plans to do a backend design refresh: https://make.wordpress.org/design/2022/06/13/thinking-throug...

Very handy! It would be nice to be able to navigate through the flow steps with the keyboard arrows.
