latteperday··on Ask HN: Excluding WordPress, what is your favorite for blogs or small stores?
If it's for you, probably hand code. If it's for a client, try https://pulsecms.com It allows you to create static sites with a CMS layer on top that clients can edit easily. Static sites all the way baby!
latteperday··on Show HN: Dropkick – a simple CMS with an HTML or Bootstrap template
Thanks for the feedback everyone. This really helps a lot. When you put things out there like this you have no idea if it makes any sense so thanks again.

Wordpress is still a great solution for many projects.

However, there are a lot of web designers who need to allow clients to edit only one or two pages of a site. They don't need to change the design or add new pages or anything else. That would freak them out.

Plus - they work with static HTML templates like Bootstrap themes or other and don't want (can't) convert it to a WP theme.

Lots of solutions for this purpose are around (CushyCMS, SurrealCMS, PageLime etc) - this is another in that vein - but there are differences to all of these.

If the right project or client came up then this would work really well.

Or you could roll your own with Octopress/Jekyll.

cheers again

That was on-purpose but will reconsider..

Any suggestions on running a free version that's downloaded? cheers

Yes that's right WP is easy to install too but this is for maintaining smaller sites where it will shine

Point taking but it's only storing text. The overkill is referring to plugins, updating, memory needed on the server, etc..

Lol - yeah I wanted a dropkick silhouette - still working on that
latteperday··on Show HN: Website launch checklist
Yes you are right.

I'm thinking of having an accordion to reveal the discover for each checklist item. That was the prototype anyway. If I decide to sub-categorise as mentioned in these comments - will need to add a way to do that also. Rather than sub-sub-accordions. Will start to think of how to make more elegant.

Glad you found the Easter Egg too ;)

Love that idea, thanks :)

Thanks

Maybe I could build out a second page called "detailed list" with more points on like these?

Great great feedback everyone, thank you. Will add more to the list over time.

Also been suggested over on Product Hunt to have a countdown launch timer. This is great motivation to launch a site too: http://www.producthunt.com/posts/departure
