I'm really looking forward to Hyperscript growing more capabilities. I love that it's very natural-language-oriented. I'm really interested in frameworks like this that could make HTML website creation more accessible for regular people. Watching a friend try to build a website with SquareSpace I was thinking... for the amount of effort she put into learning SS's tools and quirks, she could almost have just learned HTML.



yep, the tool chain startup costs in front end development are very high unfortunately


I honestly think for the sorts of websites you make in SquareSpace, they shouldn't be. There's no reason that to develop a static website (even with some dynamic elements like a shopping cart) that you should need e.g. a build process to target modern browsers (i.e. consumers in Western economies).

But this is probably me being idealistic. It's why I like things like hyperscript... it feels like we might be _just_ on the cusp of what I'm saying being true.
