All I want in life (as far as web authoring goes) is a wysiwyg editor for static html that creates fairly clean code and can provide responsive templates.

I just want to type text and drop images in and see it in real time, and then I would like to be able to define one or more areas on a page that contain dynamic content.

That dynamic content can be served up when visitors reach the site, or can be compiled by the static site generator periodically, I really don’t care about that step.

I don’t want to abstract “templates” from content. I don’t want to abstract anything. I just want to type and drop in other media without extra steps.

Why does this not exist? Am I supposed to be using Dreamweaver? I just don’t get why all these other solutions are so disjointed.

Edit: Maybe I want to be using blocs



I've recently purchased a license for Bootstrapstudio for $60 and I want to send a vote of confidence. Does exactly what you're describing. I wish they had a bit more integration for templates for webapps but you can only do so much at the end of the day.

There are similar other offerings (one that comes to mind is reactstudio, but has a bit more going on there with code and flow.


sounds a bit like markdown tbh
