What is Reddit's opinion of Publii?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/

I've used them to host my website for years, it costs pennies because it's just a static page with very few visitors. I think I pay about $3 per year. Cost is based on usage.

It doesn't have any site builder tools as far as I know but check out a cms like this one https://getpublii.com/ - you use that software to edit your site then it generates HTML you can host anywhere. And easy to use with no server configuration or security concerns since it runs locally on your computer and there's no CMS software on the server that can get hacked.

If you ditch Wordpress for a static site generator (Publii has a GUI so it's easy for non-techies to use) you can host your website on CloudFlare Pages for free and only pay for the domain.

> especially with things like security, which is important for me

WordPress team will take care of most security issues. You just need to keep your installation of WordPress up-to-date and add a few other things that are reasonably easy to find with some web searches (e.g. secure wordpress and the like).

Start with a free standard template, customize your logo and you are ready to go live. It should not take longer than a weekend.

There is a word of warning, though: WordPress is easy to install yet not so easy to maintain. It depends on a database, so you need backups. It is based on a software called PHP, so it is prone to vulnerabilities that may be used to hack your site.

If you haven't set up your blog yet, you may want to take a look at static-website generators such as Publii before making up your mind. They are safer and your backups are in your own computer.

Since you are uploading your website's file via FTP (I suppose), and the interface is quite simple (i like it), I think you can use publii and easily tweak the simple theme to your needs.

Yeah, I would second that /u/dfernand. Static sites are the fastest and most secure. This way you don't have to update your server software, scripting language, cms or framework etc., which means you can invest the saved time in game related stuff.

A DDOS like for example cube world experienced get's also harder.

If you don't want to create the design yourself just use a free theme. In addition to github pages I can also recommend netlify or vercel. All three of them have a free tier and distribute the static site with a CDN around the world.

As an alternative to Hugo you could also look into Publli - https://getpublii.com/ - in case you prefer a more CMS like experience. It runs localy on your computer and creates a static site which you can then host on Github Pages, Netlify or Vercel.

Boleh static g? Bikin aja pake Publii di PC, dia bisa langsung upload ke GitHub Pages, set domain, tadaah, cuma keluar duit wat domain doang, paling ~10 dolar setahun. Update simple (cuma buka Publii di lappy, masukin kontennya lalu suruh sync).

Kalo butuh yang bisa diedit dari hp/tablet dan integrated macem-macem fitur sih, Squarespace malah termasuk murah dibanding yang lain.

I believe so. It would be a matter if exporting the Publii static files and uploading them to your CDN.

Public already has support for some free some (free) static-file hosting like Netlify:

https://getpublii.com/docs/build-a-static-website-with-netlify.html

https://mobirise.com/ - freemium, offline, drag & drop GUI, builds static(ish) sites, win & mac only

https://getpublii.com/ - open source, builds static blogs, a bit too simple

Anything from here: https://www.staticgen.com/

Other, than that: notepad, HTML, CSS.

Just use Publii with some of the available themes. It's the most user friendly solution right now, IMO. It's like WordPress for static sites – you can also import content created on the old WP.

It works as a desktop app with a great UI and automatically generates HTML files to publish directly to Netlify, Github Pages or any other hosting (including FTP).

For a static site generator I really like Publii, as it's quite simple. This should also integrate nicely with netlify, even though I haven't tried this myself.
Another thing you might want to have a look at is Vapid

Not sure how a static site gen publisher will guarantee the content stays available other than peering it yourself or a kind third-party will peer it.

Publii (a static web site publisher for Windows, macOS, and Linux) has IPFS on the roadmap: https://getpublii.com/roadmap/

Another option that should work well for what you've described is Publii. It's a CMS application you install locally on your computer to manage your content. Then it exports a static site you can host anywhere. It can even upload straight to your server from inside the app, and has options to quickly set up the most popular static hosts like AWS, Netlify, and GitHub Pages. They do have some good looking themes, just not nearly as many as WordPress. But it works exactly like you want it to by out of the box, versus using workarounds to try to force WordPress to.

> Do You Think Amazon AWS is a Good Idea for a "Normal" Website?

I agree AWS is bad if you just do a "lift + shift" of your website, without "designing for the cloud". WordPress runs the same on AWS as on a managed host, but you probably need the management.

Netlify has done the best job of figuring out how a blog should work in a cloud environment. There are also programs like Publii or Prose that let you publish with a GUI to a static site (which you can host on S3 where there is nothing to "manage".)

There is Publii - https://getpublii.com

It has WordPress like GUI and internal Logic. With WISYWIG editing and some markdown support too.

The downside - it's a single user system, there is an unnatural way to make it multi-user-friendly but only as a workaround.

Here is an overview of what it does and how it does it

I'm dealing with tutorials and "How to" articles and this thing works for me, however on my team projects there is no chance I would introduce tool, I barely made my teammates learn WordPress publishing :(

Publii: https://getpublii.com/

CMS with a slick UI that generates static HTML sites in minutes. I use it almost daily for landing pages and one-off event sites.

Static HTML can be hosted anywhere as opposed to WordPress that requires a full LAMP stack. Static HTML is faster to load and takes a tiny amount of hosting space.
