So, reading between the lines, it's a desktop app that makes a static website and it then checks the build output (not the source with a build command) into a GitHub repository for hosting?
Is it your own static website builder or did you consider using an existing one?
What type of model are you going for here? I can't see anything about pricing, but I see text encouraging users to "reach out to support".

An alternative, if you already use your own static site generator (SSG) like Hugo, is Frontmatter (https://frontmatter.codes/), a VSCode(ium) plugin that gives you a CMS/Content Management System over your SSG.
Similar use case to PRSS.

Kudos to PRSS Site Creator, I like the idea and I installed it on my mac. As soon as the app starts I get this error, Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/Applications/PRSS Site Creator.app/Contents/Resources/static_themes' how can I fix it? thanks

This seemed like something I came across in r/WordPress discussion on Reddit. The problem here is that it's only for Mac, while we have a cross-platform solution.

“PRSS” is a bit of an impenetrable name. I assumed it was some kind of variant of RSS at first, and I was looking to see what a PRSS site was. But it’s just a brand name, right? It’s “the site creator called PRSS”, not “a creator for PRSS sites”?
