Even though I'm a web developer and have used various static site generators in the past, I never liked them too much because they seem like more work for me. I prefer dynamic CMS for a number of reasons. Having said that, I believe that things like WordPress can do too many things and are overkill for many people who just want to publish content on a blog. So I built DynaBlogger (https://www.dynablogger.com/), a simpler alternative with the most needed features and no bloat.

I also like dynamic CMS more than static websites, there is something really cool about being able to access your editor and directly update your content. Of course things don't have to be black or white, I'm using Grav, it's a lightweight CMS that uses static files for its content and generate a static cache when something change, so you technically only serve static content but still have the benefits of having an admin UI to manage your website and content.

I just signed up and received an email confirmation, but the link was white so I couldn't see it. I had to move my cursor where I thought it was until my cursor changed. I'm using Outlook on Windows 10 if that helps.
Hi there! I didn't realize your reply before, sorry! I will check with Outlook, thanks! Do you have any questions or feedback about the product? :)
