With all my frustrations with medium, I decided to build a desktop app--for myself, and maybe to monetize later. It's basically the medium WSYWYG editor combined with a static site generator that automatically hosts on S3. Out of curiosity, is that something that anyone else would be interested in?

So we're so fed up with the "modern web" that we've resorted to reviving Microsoft FrontPage?

Hang on, lemme eat my own foot.

Say what you will, but FrontPage was a great way to get into webdev for people who were new to development.

Yes! This is something I've wanted for a while. Simple, easy writing experience with a button-push deploy to s3 — that would be out of this world!

Also, image uploads baked in would be a huge plus (but totally not necessary out of the gate).

Awesome! I have images uploading to s3 at the moment. They get uploaded to /assets. I'm planning on some simple media management as well.

It also enables a cloudfront distribution with the bucket.

That looks pretty sweet. I'll have to try it out.
