Pain Points of Web Development with WordPress

The article might sound non-sense (to you, a power-user?), but most people do require a simple to setup and use software, too. That's how usually things are. Photoshop was great, but then came along Sketch and Figma. Lotus was great, then came along Word and Docs; but there's market for plain-text editors like notepad++ / cot-editor, too.

The other day I saw a ms-excel to webpage builder shared on news.yc voted to the front-page, there's also a google-sheets to app builder that did YC last year... I wonder if there's a market for notepad / word / docs to webpages, too? This article makes it seem like there might be one.

If GitHub Wiki could get image pasting like issues, or GitLab Wiki could make it your own domain name, something simple like the wiki could be really useful for non-techy crowd that wants a simple web presence where they can insert/update/delete content.

Posterous was genuis: Blog posts over emails. Its primary competition, tumblr, grew big with super easy sharing mechanics. Notion.so now with its Swiss army knife of products, esp with wiki-like semantics, has taken off as not only an Evernote alternative but for documentation, as well. And there's of course, Netlify that turns GitHub repos to websites; plus tilda.cc and the like are growing, too. This area (low-code websites) is ripe with budding upstarts.

I personally use https://1mb.site for simple pages, but it still isn't easy to use.
