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.

      Note that Wix is under boycott because it uses coercion against its employees to get them to publicly side with Israel

      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.
