The post asks if there is a way to make something work. The comments provide some guidance and suggestions from community members:
A community member shares a link to a self-hosting guide, but another community member expresses that they are not a coder and apologizes for asking "dumb questions".
The discussion revolves around setting up a local development environment using the npx serve . command, which allows viewing the website locally. However, opening the HTML file directly does not work.
Some community members recommend sticking with the cloud version of the service if the user is not a coder and does not have time to learn the self-hosting setup. Others express that self-hosting is not for everyone and suggest using the cloud version for simplicity and peace of mind.
There is no explicitly marked answer in the comments.
@ShadowWatcher, I setup a self-hosted version but it's so much nicer to use the cloud version for me. The plans are extremely well priced and no need to worry about making updates or servers going down.
If someone I build a site for "needs" a self-hosted version, I can provide that but for it's simple and piece of mind to be on the cloud version. (I self-host a bunch of other software but this is different). 🙂
