That may seem like an oxymoron, but I’m looking for some sort of server that I can self-host where I can edit blog posts and whatnot, but that then deploys to something like neocities (or any other pure static host).

I’m not finding anything, but maybe it’s a thing and I just don’t know what it’s called?

      Do you just use the gitea web editor for that? (I assume it has one right?) Does it provide a nice markdown-aware editor?

      Nifty. At first blush just making a static clone of a dynamic site doesn’t feel as elegant as using a code forge editor, but I’ll keep that idea in mind if I find the editing experience (images and whatnot) to be too clunky with the gitea suggestion.

        @azdle yeah understandable .I’ve had a good experience with just editing files locally (markdown or html) too. in case you miss some niceties of your local IDE

            Gotcha, I’m trying to find something that doesn’t require me to use a local editor. I want to give myself as smooth of an opportunity as possible to write small thoughts. That’s my current setup and even that little bit of friction seems to keep me from writing. (Or that’s my current excuse anyway…)

      Ah, nice. I think that’s exactly what I was trying to describe. Thanks for the suggestion!

      Though, I think the git forge ‘backend’ + “Static CMS” frontend seems a bit more featureful and slick. I think I’m going to keep going down that path instead for now. Good to have a backup of exactly what I originally thought I wanted though.
