Completely agree - without getting too dramatic, for such an important open standard (HTML) its surprising we don't have a open-source locally-run easy to use, visual authoring tool for HTML websites (and I'll throw Markdown in the mix here, because with tools like https://www.markdownguide.org/tools/markdeep/, useful crossover is possible).
Share this page with people who are passionate about this topic, and perhaps we can gather experts to rally behind an open-source initiative or start one.
