Would anyone be interested in contributing to this interactive guide + WYSIWIG editor that lets you make simple web pages and shows you how to host them for free?

@lavaeolus Thank you, I'll definitely keep this in mind!

@stefan How about surge.sh You just push files from your local machine. I see ones I created back in 2015 https://cogdogblog.com/2015/05/with-surge/ if it goes away you still have all your source files.

@stefan thats so cool! I made a quick little tutorial on how to make your own gallery on neocities, idk if that can help? https://jakechirak.com/howto/makeyourownwebsite/howtohome

@cogdog Very interesting, definitely saving this! Thank you!
-
@jakechirak This is very nice, and I love the illustrations!

If the simple page incorporates active scripts to display content, definitely not!
When you say free is that free as in beer or free as in freedom? Does that free require phone verification, therefore legal ID (like github/MS gitlab and other proprietary servers?) No Thank you!
There are plenty of #FOSS tools converting text, rtf, md into html, plain #html that is no js crap
The offensive against people and foss comes wrapped with aesthetic "modern" gadgetry as popular necessity
-
@yianiris All good points/questions!
This tool only lets you create the page and suggests a few options for hosting the exported files, specifically https://glitch.com and https://neocities.org, neither of which, I believe, have such requirements.
The exported page doesn't rely on JavaScript, unlike the page builder itself, which, considering it is aimed at non-coders, would be a bit harder to pull off without JS.

Are you also interested in translations from English to different languages? -
@elmerot Yes, very much so! Unfortunately, the site is not currently set up to handle content translation. I opened a ticket to work on that.

@stefan This is a cool looking project! I love all the little guides and cools popping up to help people make their own websites, and I've been similar bookmarking resources.
Last spring, I wrote a guide to help daughter(12) make a website for a class project. I haven't shared it much because it's been missing the critical end portion of hosting and publishing. I recently went back to finish it and have been doing a test of free hosts.

@shannonkay This is very nice, thank you for sharing!
I wrote my own blog post with resources (if you're interested: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/resources-for-keeping-the-web-free-open-and-poetic/) and will definitely take some inspiration from your work!
-
@stefan I am interested, thank you! Everyone's list and guide has something that I hadn't thought about or a resource I didn't know about, and I've been making websites since I was a tween myself in the mid-nineties. I love that there's always something else to explore.
-
@shannonkay That's a great perspective!
