(For college capstone project) Is it possible to create a wiki-style self-editing website without a database, on a free hosting platform?
For my college capstone project, the professor wants my team to create a new website for him that compiles information from his personal website (mostly links to books he's written), his google scholar page (links to papers), and a GitHub page that links to AI, VKD software his students made. That part is simple.
The tricky part is: "The website should not be static but should allow a user to add more new sources and new links without coding but with a natural UI."
He specified in person that "the user" wouldn't be just anyone, but him or students.
His personal website is on dreamhosters.com, and he says he doesn't like that in order to edit it, he has to download the html file and edit it in word (roughly his words). He'd like a natural UI instead.
I have some familiarity with neocities, and I believe GitHub pages also always for simple website hosting, but I'm skeptical that those would let us create a self-editing website. I used to have a wordpress blog, and I know wordpress does give the user some nice UI, but I don't know that that would meet his needs.
Worst case would just be creating some offline UI to edit a downloaded HTML page I guess? But I don't think that would impress him much.
