Yeah the idea with this was mostly for people who don't want to learn much about web development, but have the skill to change some values in JSON or edit a Markdown file.

What we're seeing - is that - that skill... doesn't doesn't help people in the long run. Getting tangled up in Node, NPM, React, Gatsby, Netlify, Command line - etc... - just creates more insecure people. It's a black box... and - you're really just giving everyone in the world but YOU the power. However, we like your site... and we bet you'll be OK.
We tutor a lot of people who went to React boot camps and can't write some basic HTML and CSS... it's scary - because... these people are going to make the things that we deal with in our life!
I completely understand the value of learning HTML and CSS before web frameworks like React, but I think you're missing my point: this isn't what I'd recommend to someone who wanted to get started with web development, it's just an alternative to paying for a site builder for those who are comfortable with text-based editing.

We get it. We just also think that you over-estimate people / and underestimate the value of what a site can do | but hopefully people will dig it! But we get it. @sheriffderek

We'd start with HTML! 😉

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I was trying to go for, but much better... Oh well.
