This looks great! The native desktop app is a powerful way to drive adoption with non-technical people.

Cactus was on the right track with that although I'm fairly sure the author, Koen Bok is now focussed on his company, Framer. Are there plans to build clients for other platforms? I guess the community can jump in at any time.

Sidenote: do people know of native clients for the other major static site generators like Jekyll, Hugo, Middleman?

Shameless plug: If you're looking for somewhere to host your static site, please check out my side project, http://www.knownly.net

I want to also vote up Cactus despite the lack of attention paid to it lately. IMO it's very well designed and deserves to be worked on by a wider community.

It's open sourced via BSD 3 clause: https://github.com/koenbok/cactus

I especially liked the "deploy to s3" feature, IMO the cheapest way to run a highly scalable static site today.

Alternatively, a "deploy to GitHub page" would be neat as well.

I would work on extending Cactus if it was a bigger problem personally, but so far what's released fits my needs already.
