    Well, considering that I have been searching for Linux-compatible apps, etc. for a day and a half and gone through 8 different searches with slightly different criteria, one thing has been constant...until now! Nicepage is not nice when it comes to Linux! So much so that it is not even listed as a possible workaround!

    Publli is a desktop application, GetSimple CMS server-based. The technical prerequisites have to be completely different. Please remove GetSimple as alternative for Publii.

    I tested Gridea (as the desktop application, not the online blogging tool), and I’m totally dissatisfied. It destroyed my two articles for unknown reasons, the user interface is not completely translated from Chinese into English, the font in the editor is not adjustable, the development is somehow sluggish, and so on. No, thanks, I will delete this from my computer. Publii works much better.
