i wanna like static site generators but like is there one i can give my client that doesn't require them to install a programming language first like node or python or ruby

i want something like eleventy but standalone without npm

i want an idiot button "click here to generate your website" that doesn't yell at them "UHH HYOURÉ RUNNING THE WRONG BERSION OF NODE THIS IS 7.2 I NEED 7.2.3"

@mavica_again If it's hosted on GitHub then GitHub Actions can be used to build and deploy that stuff for you. Guess that's less helpful if they wanna run it locally though.

@mavica_again Might be able to cram npm stuff into an npm/shell script so it's less of a pain?

I'm not aware of any SSGs that don't require at least some terminal faffery, unfortunately.

@batbeeps terminal faffery that i can stuff in a batch file is fine

npm on windows is fucking miserable

hugo is the only one that offers windows binaries it seems so i'm going with that
