Is there really no better WYSIYG HTML editor in 2026 than the no-longer-maintained Bluegriffon?

2/2 If you don't want to learn #HTML and #XML coding, you can use #FreeSoftware like #Scribus to design and generate #EPUB formats for you. #Calibre can organize your #ebook #library. Bard incorporates #FLite #TextToSpeech to read ebooks aloud to you. #DFD2026

1/2 Welcome to today's #DFD2026 countdown. The #Free format for this week is #EPUB, the #OpenStandard for #ebooks. It's very easy to create your own ebooks. All it takes is a #text #editor to produce #HTML and #XML files and a zip tool to store them. #DocumentFreedomDay2026

"If mark_up_ is complicated, then the opposite of that complexity must be… markd_own_. This kind of solution, where it’s so smart it seems obvious in hindsight, is key to Markdown’s success. John worked to make a format that was so simple that anybody could pick it up in a few minutes, and powerful enough that it could help people express pretty much anything that they wanted to include while writing on the internet. At a technical level, it was also easy enough to implement that John could write the code himself to make it work with Movable Type, his publishing tool of choice. (Within days, people had implemented the same feature for most of the other blogging tools of the era; these days, virtually every app that you can type text into ships with Markdown support as a feature on day one.)

Prior to launch, John had enlisted our mutual friend, the late, dearly missed Aaron Swartz, as a beta tester. In addition to being extremely fluent in every detail of the blogging technologies of the time, Aaron was, most notably, seventeen years old. And though Aaron’s activism and untimely passing have resulted in him having been turned into something of a mythological figure, one of the greatest things about Aaron was that he could be a total pain in the ass, which made him terrific at reporting bugs in your software. (One of the last email conversations I ever had with Aaron was him pointing out some obscure bugs in an open source app I was working on at the time.) No surprise, Aaron instantly understood both the potential and the power of Markdown, and was a top-tier beta tester for the technology as it was created. His astute feedback helped finely hone the final product so it was ready for the world, and when Markdown quietly debuted in March of 2004, it was clear that text files around the web were about to get a permanent upgrade."

The early Web had a quality that has been lost ever since: it was *simple*

Download #httpd , #netscape write some #html by hand and boom, the concept of a networked digital society is born.

It first started going pear shaped with #LAMP . The complexity of a full blown database was not justified for most use cases. As proven decades later by the popularity of #sqlite and #ssg approaches.

The final blow was when #bigtech got into the act. Immense complexity for the simplest things became a moat

Isso foi feito no #Mastodon da comunidade #Ayom. É um exemplo que pode, ainda, ser adaptado para outros sistemas e praticamente qualquer página da Web:
