Hello! I’ll try to explain what I’m looking for: I sometimes have to write simple web pages (not just text, also buttons and video players and so on), but I really really hate writing html code. What I’m used to is QML, which I like a lot, because of the ease of placing objects exactly where I need using the anchors and the Layout objects. What I’m looking for is a language or something with a similar syntax, that can then be “built” to plain HTML/CSS/JS. Is there something like this? I know I can compile Qt/QML for webassembly, but I’m having huge amounts of problems, and also I’d like to have the possibility to have a plain HTML result, not necessary bind to the server side.
thanks in advance!!
Ever heard of wix or squarespace? I think there is your reason these apps don’t exist anymore.
Those platforms aren’t ideal because you’re locked in to the respective service. Something standalone (or even a CMS like WordPress) is good since you’re not locked in - you can move to a different hosting provider, self-host it, more easily migrate to a different platform, etc.
We’ve always had similar platforms - in the 2000s we had Geocities, Angelfire, Tripod, etc. There’s still a lot of value in actually owning your site.
Note that Wix is under boycott because it uses coercion against its employees to get them to publicly side with Israel
