It may sound bizarre, given how much so many use the web today, but it’s worth recognizing how many don’t think of the web at all anymore. It’s their social media app of choice, it’s Google, it’s some streaming services or YouTube.

The wider web, and the ability to participate in and build independent parts of it oneself, is an almost unheard of idea to many.

So trying to think of some tools/ways to ease them in, a few things come to mind.

Tools

  • Publii for a basic WYSIWYG sitebuilding tool that can run on a local machine, offline.
  • Zonelets an in-between blogging tool that also runs on a local machine, offline, but has one adjusting some pre-written html and javascript.
    • Zoner, a static site generator to build Zonelets-style blogs without getting into the html/javascript, processes markdown files into html and produces a RSS feed if desired.
